Investigation of the alkaloids from Myrioneuron faberi, a plant unique to China, gave four pairs of enantiomers (1鈥?b>4). (卤)-尾-Myrifabral A (1) and (卤)-伪-myrifabral A (2) formed an inseparable mixture of anomers (cluster A), as did (卤)-尾-myrifabral B (3) and (卤)-伪-myrifabral B (4) (cluster B). Their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction and NMR analysis. Compounds 1鈥?b>4 possessed novel cyclohexane-fused octahydroquinolizine skeletons and represent the first quinolizidine alkaloids from the genus Myrioneuron. The epimers of cluster A (1 and 2) were modified and separated. In vitro, clusters A and B and their derivatives inhibited replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV, IC50 0.9 to 4.7 渭M) with cytotoxicity lower than that of telaprevir.
