A new pentacyclic monoterpenoid indole alkaloid glycoside named secorubenine (1) was isolated from the heartwood of Adina rubescens, collected in Indonesia. The structure was elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical modification of isolated secorubenine (1). The bioinspired enantioselective total synthesis of 1 was accomplished in 12 steps, whereafter its structure was determined and the absolute stereochemistry was confirmed.

A number of alkaloids found in Mitragyna species belonging to the Rubiaceae family have been shown to have potent biological activity such as analgesic properties. Here, we report the asymmetric total syntheses of mitragynine, speciogynine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine, which are classified as corynantheine-type monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, isolated from Mitragyna speciosa. These syntheses were accomplished within 12 steps and in >11% total yield from commercial 3-(trimethylsilyl)propanal using an organocatalytic anti-selective Michael reaction and bioinspired transformations.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, genus Meloidogyne) are a class of plant parasites that seek out and infect the roots of many plant species. The identification of RKN attractants can be used in agriculture in conjunction with nematode-trapping technology to redirect RKN movements and eventually reduce their prevalence in the field. Here, we discovered that some commercial silica gels can attract nematodes. Silica gels that attract nematodes contain calcium sulfate. Calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate showed strong nematode attraction properties. When plant seeds were surrounded by calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate, nematodes were not attracted to the plant seeds. We propose that calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate can be used in agriculture as a novel material to trap RKN.
