Abstract
Chemical investigation of the emblematic Catharanthus roseus led to the discovery of trirosaline (1), the first example of a tris-ajmalicine-type monoterpene indole alkaloid and the first natural trimeric MIA ever reported from this deeply dug plant species. Its structure was primarily elucidated based on NMR and HRESIMS analyses, and the nature of its unique intermonomeric linkages was firmly confirmed based on a combination of empirical computation and ML-J-DP4 study. Its absolute configuration was mitigated by comparison of experimental and TDDFT-simulated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. A possible biosynthetic pathway for trirosaline (1) was postulated.

Abstract
The molecular network-guided exploration of the alkaloid extract of Callichilia inaequalis stems revealed a cluster attributed tentatively to dimeric monoterpene indole alkaloids of the rare criophylline subtype, initiating the dual study reported herein. A patrimonial-themed portion of this work was aimed at performing a spectroscopic reassessment of criophylline (1), a monoterpene bisindole alkaloid for which the nature of the inter-monomeric connectivity and configurational assignments have remained dubious. A targeted isolation of the entity annotated as criophylline (1) was undertaken to strengthen the available analytical evidence. An extensive set of spectroscopic data was acquired from the authentic sample of criophylline (1a) isolated earlier by Cavé and Bruneton. These spectroscopic studies proved the samples to be identical, and the complete structure of criophylline could be assigned, half a century after it was first isolated. The absolute configuration of andrangine (2) was also ascertained based on a TDDFT-ECD approach from the authentic sample. The forward-looking aspect of this investigation resulted in the characterization of two new criophylline derivatives from C. inaequalis stems, namely, 14'-hydroxycriophylline (3) and 14'-O-sulfocriophylline (4). Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by analysis of NMR and MS spectroscopic data and by ECD analysis. Notably, 14'-O-sulfocriophylline (4) is the first sulfated monoterpene indole alkaloid to have been reported. The antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum FcB1 was determined for criophylline and its two new analogues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Eleutherococcus senticosus fruit (ESF) is a natural health supplement resource that has been extensively applied as a tonic for the nervous system. The structures and neural bioactivities of triterpenoid saponins (TS), which are the major constituents of ESF, have not been comprehensively analyzed thus far. OBJECTIVE We conducted a complete in-depth MS/MS molecular networking (MN)-based targeted analysis of TS from the crude extract of ESF and investigated its neuroprotective value. METHODS An MS/MS MN-guided strategy was used to rapidly present a series of precursor ions (PIs) of TS in a compound cluster as TS-targeted information used in the discovery and characterization of TS. In addition, a prepared TS-rich fraction of ESF was assayed for its restraining effects on β-amyloid-induced inhibition of neurite outgrowth. RESULTS A total of 87 TS were discovered using a PI tracking strategy, 28 of which were characterized as potentially undescribed structures according to their high-resolution MS values. Furthermore, the TS-rich fraction can significantly reduce β-amyloid-induced damage to neural networks by promoting the outgrowth of neurites and axons. CONCLUSION Our findings reveal the richness of TS in ESF and will accelerate their application in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Indole alkaloids represent a large subset of natural products, with more than 4100 known compounds. The majority of these alkaloids are biologically active, with some exhibiting excellent antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiplasmodial activities. Consequently, the natural products of this class have attracted considerable attention as potential leads for novel therapeutics and are routinely isolated, characterized, and profiled to gauge their biological potential. However, data on indole alkaloids, their various structures, and bioactivities are complex due to their diverse sources, such as plants, fungi, bacteria, sponges, tunicates, and bryozoans; thus, isolation methods produce an incredible trove of information. The situation is exacerbated when synthetic derivatives, as well as their structures, bioactivities, and synthetic schemes, are considered. Thus, to make such data comprehensive and inform researchers about the current field's state, this review summarizes recent reports on novel indole alkaloids. It deals with the isolation and characterization of 250 novel indole alkaloids, a reappraisal of previously reported compounds, and total syntheses of indole alkaloids. In addition, several syntheses and semi-syntheses of indole-containing derivatives and their bioactivities are reported between January 2019 and July 2022.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Plants of the Strychnos genus, which include about 200 species, are used for multiple traditional purposes as hunting poison, for example, and have shown interesting pharmacological properties, especially curarizing and tetanizing, but also against malaria. Many monoterpene indole alkaloids have already been isolated and identified. Among them, there is strychnine, a famous alkaloid that can cause death by asphyxiation. OBJECTIVE Investigate alkaloidic molecular diversity from Strychnos genus using molecular networking technique and study the Strychnos genus from a chemotaxonomic point of view. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-eight different species and different plant parts were ground into powder using a grinder. The methanolic extracts were carried out using a pressurized solvent extraction and the alkaloid extract was performed manually with a separating funnel. The extracts were analyzed by HPLC-ESI(+)-Q/TOF. The data were processed using MZmine 2 software and the molecular network was generated on the GNPS platform. The study of the generated molecular network allowed the detection of various alkaloids. Among these is the famous strychnine which has been detected in 7 new Strychnos species not yet described as strychnine producers. This identification was investigated using orthogonal approaches, namely TLC, NMR, HPLC-UV and UHPLC-ESI(+)-Q/TOF analyses. The LOD by HPLC-UV of strychnine was also determined. RESULTS Further analyses allowed to confirm the presence of strychnine in S. densiflora trunk barks but also to show the presence of strychnine with high probability in the trunk barks of S. camptoneura, S. congolana, S. boonei, and S. tchibangensis, and in the leaves of S. usambarensis. About the trunk barks of S. tricalyisoides, the probability of a strychnine content remains low. CONCLUSION This work exemplified the efficiency of molecular networking in identifying known metabolites (major and minor alkaloids) involved in the chemotaxonomic study of plants from Strychnos genus.

Abstract
Ten siderophore-related compounds were isolated by MS/MS-based molecular networking from a mesophotic sponge-associated Streptomyces diastaticus NBU2966. Among them, there were three kinds of siderophores including three undescribed phenol/thiazoline-type compounds, thiazostatin C, methyl thiazostatin B, and pulicatin J, one undescribed phenol/oxazoline-type compound, spoxazomicin E, and one undescribed phenol/oxazoline/thiazoline-type compound, streptochelin A, as well as five known compounds. Pulicatin J and spoxazomicin E were both isolated as a pair of inseparable epimers. The planar structures of all these compounds were determined based on the detailed NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations of them were assigned by ECD and NMR quantum chemical calculations. Additionally, in vitro antibacterial activities, inhibition of MRSA biofilm formation, and neuroprotective activity for these compounds were tested.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don is a well known medicinal plant belonging to family Apocynaceae that have been traditionally used as medicine since ancient times. C. roseus is a well-recognized herbal medicine due to its anticancer bisindole alkaloids (vinblastine (111), vincristine (112) and vindesine (121)). In the Ayurvedic system of medicine, different parts of C. roseus are used in folklore herbal medicine for treatment of many types of cancer, diabetes, stomach disorders, kidney, liver and cardiovascular diseases. AIM OF THE STUDY The main idea behind this communication is to update comprehensively and analyze critically the traditional applications, phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, and toxicity of various extracts and isolated compounds from C. roseus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The presented data covers scientific works on C. roseus published across the world between 1967 and 2021 was searched from various international publishing houses using search engines as well as several traditional texts like Ayurveda and relevant books. Collected data from different sources was comprehensively summarized/analyzed for ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, analytical chemistry, biological activities and toxicity studies of C. roseus. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION C. roseus has a wide range of applications in the traditional system of medicine especially in cancer and diabetes. During phytochemical investigation, total of 344 compounds including monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) (110), bisindole alkaloids (35), flavonoids (34), phenolic acids (9) and volatile constituents (156) have been reported in the various extracts and fractions of different plant parts of C. roseus. The extracts and isolated compounds of C. roseus have to exhibit many pharmacological activities such as anticancer/cytotoxic, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, larvicidal and pupicidal. The comparative toxicity of extracts and bioactive compounds investigated in dose dependent manner. The investigation of toxicity showed that the both extracts and isolated compounds are safe to a certain limit beyond that they cause adverse effects. CONCLUSION This review is a comprehensive, critically analyzed summarization of sufficient baseline information of selected topics in one place undertaken till date on C. roseus for future works and drug discovery. The phytochemical investigation including biosynthetic pathways showed that the MIAs and bisindole alkaloids are major and characteristic class of compounds in this plant. The present data confirm that the extracts/fractions and their isolated alkaloids especially vinblastine (111) and vincristine (112) have a potent anticancer/cytotoxic and antidiabetic property and there is a need for further study with particular attention to the mechanisms of anticancer activity. In biosynthesis pathways of alkaloids especially bisindole alkaloids, some enzymes and rearrangement are unexposed therefore it is required to draw special attention. It also focuses on attracting the attention of scientific communities about the widespread biological activities of this species for its better utilization prospects in the near future.

Abstract
In less than 10 years, molecular networking (MN) strategy has revolutionized the art of Natural Products (NP) isolation to enter a rational workflow greatly increasing the probabilities of isolating new chemical entities. To pinpoint and streamline the isolation of new Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids (MIAs) in producing plants, we rendered publicly available the MIA database (MIADB), comprising MS2 data for ca. 200 structurally diverse MIA, by uploading it to the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) platform. Here, we describe the key experimental aspects underlying data collection, data curation, and their subsequent upload to the GNPS libraries as a database. Practical tips are also provided at the end of this chapter to help optimizing the efficiency of the dereplication of MIA-containing plants against the MIADB-implemented GNPS library.

Abstract
A new vobasine-tryptamine-based monoterpene indole alkaloid pseudodimer was isolated from the stem bark of Voacanga africana. As a minor constituent occurring in a thoroughly investigated plant, this molecule was targeted based on a molecular networking strategy and a rational MS2-guided phytochemical investigation led to its isolation. Its structure was formally established based on HRMS, 1D/2D NMR data, and the application of the tool Small Molecule Accurate Recognition Technology (SMART 2.0). Its absolute configuration was assigned by the exciton chirality method and TD-DFT ECD calculations. Besides featuring an unprecedented intermonomeric linkage in the small group of vobasine/tryptamine hybrids, pyrrovobasine also represents the first pyrraline-containing representative in the whole monoterpene indole alkaloids group. Biosynthetic hypotheses possibly underpinning these structural oddities are proposed here.

Abstract
Covering: 2016 up to 2021Mass spectrometry (MS) is an essential technology in natural products research with MS fragmentation (MS/MS) approaches becoming a key tool. Recent advancements in MS yield dense metabolomics datasets which have been, conventionally, used by individual labs for individual projects; however, a shift is brewing. The movement towards open MS data (and other structural characterization data) and accessible data mining tools is emerging in natural products research. Over the past 5 years, this movement has rapidly expanded and evolved with no slowdown in sight; the capabilities of today vastly exceed those of 5 years ago. Herein, we address the analysis of individual datasets, a situation we are calling the '2021 status quo', and the emergent framework to systematically capture sample information (metadata) and perform repository-scale analyses. We evaluate public data deposition, discuss the challenges of working in the repository scale, highlight the challenges of metadata capture and provide illustrative examples of the power of utilizing repository data and the tools that enable it. We conclude that the advancements in MS data collection must be met with advancements in how we utilize data; therefore, we argue that open data and data mining is the next evolution in obtaining the maximum potential in natural products research.

Abstract
Voatriafricanines A and B (1 and 2), the first examples of vobasine-aspidosperma-aspidosperma monoterpene trisindole alkaloids, were isolated from the stem barks of Voacanga africana, guided by a molecular networking strategy. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and ECD calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 possess intramolecular hydrogen bonding, sufficiently robust to transfer homonuclear and heteronuclear magnetizations. Compound 1 exhibited potent antimycobacterial activity with no discernible cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
Hemitheion (1), a new sulfur-containing vobasane-type indole alkaloid, was isolated, together with three known compounds, vobasine (2), gelsedine (3), and gelsemicine (4), from the alkaloid extract of the stems of Mostuea brunonis Didr. (Gelsemiaceae). Compound 1 could be straightforwardly isolated. Its structure was elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods. Besides corresponding to a formerly postulated biosynthetic intermediate toward theionbrunonines, hemitheion (1) stands among the few monomeric vobasanes lacking an oxygen at C-3. Hemitheion (1) showed moderate antiplasmodial activity in the micromolar range against the strain FcB1 of Plasmodium falciparum and no cytotoxic activity against the MRC-5 cell line at 20 μM.

Abstract
Untargeted LC-MS based metabolomics is a useful approach in many research areas such as medicine, systems biology, environmental sciences or even ecology. In such an approach, annotation of metabolomes of non-model organisms remains a significant challenge. In this study, an analytical workflow combining a classical phytochemical approach, using the isolation and the full characterization of the chemical structure of natural products, together with the use of MS/MS-based molecular networking with various levels of restrictiveness was developed. This protocol was applied to the marine brown seaweed Taonia atomaria, a cosmopolitan algal species, and allowed to annotate more than 200 metabolites. First, the algal organic crude extracts were fractionated by flash-chromatography and the chemical structure of eight of the main chemical constituents of this alga were fully characterized by means of spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, HRMS). These compounds were further used as chemical standards. In a second step, the main fractions of the algal extracts were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS and the resulting data were uploaded to the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking platform (GNPS) to create several molecular networks (MNs). A first MN (MN-1) was built with restrictive parameters and allowed the creation of clusters composed by nodes with highly similar MS/MS spectra. Then, using database hits and chemical standards as "seed" nodes and/or similarity between MS/MS fragmentation pattern, the main clusters were easily annotated as common glycerolipids and phospholipids, much rare lipids -such as acylglycerylhydroxymethyl-N,N,N-trimethyl-ß-alanines or fulvellic acid derivatives- but also new glycerolipids bearing a terpene moiety. Lastly, the use of less and less constrained MNs allowed to further increase the number of annotated metabolites.

Abstract
Picralima nitida is a therapeutic herb used in ethnomedicine for the management of several disease conditions including diabetes. This study examined the potential palliative effect of aqueous seed extract of Picralima nitida (APN) on dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and the expression of some metabolic genes in high-fat high-fructose-fed rats. Experimental rats (2 months old) were fed a control diet or a high-fat diet with 25% fructose (HFHF diet) in their drinking water for nine weeks. APN was administered orally during the last four weeks. Anthropometric and antioxidant parameters, lipid profile, plasma glucose, and insulin levels and the relative expression of some metabolic genes were assessed. APN caused a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in weight gained, body mass index, insulin resistance, plasma glucose, and insulin levels. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was significantly increased (P < 0.05), while triacylglycerol, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, cardiac index, atherogenic index, coronary artery index, and malondialdehyde levels in plasma and liver samples were also significantly decreased (P < 0.05) by APN at all experimental doses when compared to the group fed with an HFHF diet only. APN also significantly (P < 0.05) upregulated the relative expression of glucokinase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1), and leptin at 400 mg/kg body weight when compared to the group fed with an HFHF diet only. This study showed that APN alleviated dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and oxidant effect associated with the intake of a high-fat high-fructose diet.

Abstract
Two new yohimbine-type monoterpene indole alkaloids, rauvines A and B, and six known derivatives were obtained from the leaves of R. vomitoria. The structures of rauvines A and B were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, 13 C-NMR, and ECD calculations. This is the first time to determine the absolute configurations of yohimbine-type N-oxides by quantum chemistry calculations (13 C-NMR and ECD calculations). All the isolates were tested for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines. Rauvine B showed moderate cytotoxicity on human MCF-7 breast, SWS80 colon, and A549 lung cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 25.5, 22.6, and 26.0 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Alkaloids represent a major group of natural products (NPs), derived from highly diverse organisms. These structurally varied specialized metabolites are widely used for medicinal purposes and also known as toxic contaminants in agriculture and dietary supplements. While the detection of alkaloids is generally facilitated by GC- or LC-MS, these techniques do require considerable efforts in sample preparation and method optimization. Bypassing these limitations and also reducing experimental time, matrix-free laser desorption ionization (LDI) and related methods may provide an interesting alternative. As many alkaloids show close structural similarities to matrices used in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), they should ionize upon simple laser irradiation without matrix support. With this in mind, the current work presents a systematic evaluation of LDI properties of a wide range of structurally diverse alkaloids. Facilitating a direct comparison between LDI and ESI-MS fragmentation, all tested compounds were further studied by electrospray ionization (ESI). Moreover, crude plant extracts of Atropa belladonna, Cinchona succirubra, and Colchicum autumnale were analyzed by LDI in order to evaluate direct alkaloid detection and dereplication from complex mixtures. Finally, dose-dependent evaluation of MALDI and LDI detection using an extract of Rosmarinus officinalis spiked with atropine, colchicine, or quinine was conducted. Overall, present results suggest that LDI provides a versatile analytical tool for analyzing structurally diverse alkaloids as single compounds and from complex mixtures. It may further serve various potential applications ranging from quality control to the screening for toxic compounds as well as the build up of MS databases. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
To combat escalating levels of antibiotic resistance, novel strategies are developed to address the everlasting demand for new antibiotics. This study aimed at investigating amicoumacin antibiotics from the desert-derived Bacillus subtilis PJS by using the modern MS/MS-based molecular networking approach. Two new amicoumacins, namely hetiamacin E (1) and hetiamacin F (2), were finally isolated. The planar structures were determined by analysis of extensive NMR spectroscopic and HR-ESI-MS data, and the absolute configurations were concluded by analysis of the CD spectrum. Hetiamacin E (1) showed strong antibacterial activities against methicillin-sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis at 2-4 µg/mL, and methicillin-sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus at 8-16 µg/mL. Hetiamacin F (2) exhibited moderate antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus sp. at 32 µg/mL. Both compounds were inhibitors of protein biosynthesis demonstrated by a double fluorescent protein reporter system.

Abstract
Epicatechocorynantheines A and B, and epicatechocorynantheidine were isolated from the stem bark of Corynanthe pachyceras. These molecules were pinpointed, and their isolation streamlined, by a molecular networking strategy. The structural elucidation was unambiguously accomplished from HRMS and 1D/2D NMR data. These compounds represent the first examples of corynanthean-type alkaloids tethered with a flavonoid. Epicatechocorynantheidine notably instigated two connections between the monoterpene indole alkaloid and the flavonoid, yielding an unprecedented octacyclic appendage. These flavoalkaloids exerted moderate antiplasmodial activities.
