The title compound, C24H40N2, has been isolated from Holarrhena floribunda G. Don. (Apocynaceae). The compound has a penta­cyclic steroidal nucleus; the ring junctions share the same stereochemistry reported for this class of compounds. Of the three six-membered rings, rings A and C adopt a chair-like and ring B forms a half-chair-like conformation. The cyclo­pentane ring D shows a half-chair conformation and the methyl­pyrrolidine ring E adopts an envelope conformation. The dimethyl­amino substituent in ring A is equatorially oriented.

Holarrhena floribunda G. Don. (Apocynaceae) is a shrub to medium sized tree, up to 5–15 m in height that grows in central and West African savannah regions. It is commonly used in African folk medicines for the treatment of various ailments such as malaria, dysentery, skin infections and venereal diseases (Berhaut, 1971). Pharmacological investigations of H. floribunda revealed antimalarial (Fotie et al., 2006) and antimicrobial (Chukwurah, 1997) activities. Previous phytochemical studies resulted in the isolation of steroidal alkaloids (Leboeuf et al., 1969) and lupeol long-chain fatty acid esters (Fotie et al., 2006). Major compounds found in Holarrhena floribunda are steroidal alkaloids of two main chemical families: counanin and pregnen-5. Conessine, holarrhenine, holadienine, holamine, holaphylline, holaphyllamine and kurchicine are well known (Tamboura et al., 2005). Tetracyclic pyrrolidine C, which contains the key BCDE ring system of conessine (I), has four contiguous stereogenic centers, one of which is a quaternary carbon atom. In early reports, the synthesis of racemic steroidal alkaloids from racemic C was reported as an efficient pathway (Biao et al., 2004). No studies have been carried out on the alkaloids biosynthesized in the callus culture. However, previous studies have shown that tissue cultures of Holarrhena anridysenrerica produce several steroids and alkaloids, one of which was tentatively identified by thin- layer chromatography (TLC) as conessine (Bouillard et al., 1987). Recently, the antiplasmodial (Zirihi et al., 2005) activity of conessine (I), has been reported against the chloroquine-resistant strain FcB1 of Plasmodium falciparum. The antidiarrhoel properties (Kumar et al., 2007) of conessine were also studied. In this paper, we report the absolute structure and relative stereochemistry of title compound (I), isolated from the stem bark of H. floribunda.

The bond lengths and angles in the title compound (I) show normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and the pentacyclic steroidal nucleus has a trans/trans/cis conformations for B/C/D rings (Table 1). Among the cylohexane rings, rings A and C adopt chair-like conformation and ring B has half chair-like conformation, with puckering amplitude Q= 0.492 (2)°, θ= 51.4 (2)° and φ= 231.8 (15)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The half chair conformation in ring B is attributed to the presence of a double bond between C-5 and C-6 atoms. The cyclopentane ring D shows half chair conformation and a cis fused ring E of methylpyrrolidine appeared as an envelop [φ= 25.8 (3)°]. The equatorially oriented dimethylamino substitutent at C-3 is making an angle 77.5 (13)° on the Cremer and Pople plane (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The methyl substituent at C-18 is also attached equatorailly to ring E of the molecule (I) by having an angle 72.9 (3) on Cremer & Pople plane (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The N, N-dimethyl substitutent at C-3, methyl substituents at C-10 and C-18 are β-oriented in the title compound (I). The sum of the bonds around N1 [337.8°] and N2 [330.1°] are indicative of their sp3 character.

Experimental top

Powdered stem barks of Holarrhena floribunda (5.4 kg) were soaked and extracted with MeOH for four days. The combined methanol extracts were dried under vacuum to afford a green gum (224 g). This methanolic extract was percolated with very dilute hydrochloric acid (5%). The liquor was made alkaline with ammonia (pH = 9) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was subjected to column chromatography, using hexane-ethyl acetate mixture of increasing polarity. The less polar fraction was further subjected to column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate, 70:30) to yield compound (I) as colorless crystals (106 mg).

Refinement top

All H atoms in compounds (I) were initially located from the difference map·The C bound H atoms were later placed at calculated positions [C—H=0.96–0.98 A°] with Uiso constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the carrrier atom for the methyl group and 1.2Ueq for the remaining positions. The Friedel reflections were merged before final refinement because of the absence of anomalous scattering effects.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
