Structure elucidation and NMR assignments of two unusual monoterpene indole alkaloids from Psychotria stachyoides

Abstract

Two unusual monoterpene indole alkaloids, stachyoside (1) and nor-methyl-23-oxo-correantoside (2), have been isolated from the aerial parts of Psychotria stachyoides. The structural elucidation of both compounds was performed by the aid of HRESIMS, FT-IR, and 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques including COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY.
