A novel monoterpene alkaloid, named incarvine G, was isolated from the Incarvillea sinensis Lam. Its chemical structure was elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic methods. Incarvine G is an ester compound comprised of a monoterpene alkaloid and glucose. This compound showed evident inhibition on cell migration, invasion, and cytoskeleton formation of human MDA-MB-231 with low cytotoxicity.
Keywords: Incarvillea sinensis; cytoskeleton; incarvine G; invasion; migration; monoterpene alkaloid.
