Melodicochinines A - D (1-4), four new monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs), along with 21 known ones, were isolated from the stems and twigs of Melodinus cochinchinensis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. A ubiquitin-rhodamine 110 assay showed that 11-methyloxytabersonine had potential inhibitory effect against ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7).
