Carbazole and amide alkaloids from the stems of Clausena lansium

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2015;17(11):1048-53. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2015.1052414. Epub 2015 Jun 22.

Abstract

Two new carbazole alkaloids, claulansine S (1) and claulansine T (2), and one new amide alkaloid, clauamide A (3), together with four known analogues (4-7) were isolated from the stems of Clausena lansium. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including UV, IR, and NMR experiments (HSQC, HMBC, and NOE experiments). Compounds 4 and 6 showed moderate hepatoprotective activities.

Keywords: Clausena lansium; Rutaceae; alkaloids; hepatoprotective.
