Abstract
Eight unprecedented monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (MIA) adducts and dimers, melofusinines A-H (1-8), and three undescribed melodinus-type MIA monomers, melofusinines I-K (9-11), together with six putative biogenetic precursors were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Melodinus fusiformis Champ. ex Benth. Compounds 1 and 2 are unusual hybrid indole alkaloids incorporating an aspidospermatan-type MIA with a monoterpenoid alkaloid unit via C-C coupling. Compounds 3-8 feature the first MIA dimers constructed through an aspidospermatan-type monomer and a rearranged melodinus-type monomer with two different types of couplings. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and calculated electric circular dichroism spectra analysis. In addition, dimers 5 and 8 showed significant neuroprotection effects on MPP +-injured primary cortical neurons.

Abstract
Objective Sinapic acid (SA, Sinapine), small naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid, has a GABA(A) receptor agonistic property and free radical scavenging activity. We examined potential neuroprotective effects of sinapic acid (SA) using global cerebral ischemia animal model. Methods MTT assay was performed to determine cytotoxic effects of SA. To examine the neuroprotective effects of SA, SA was administrated for 14 d before 4-vessel occlusion. Also, to determine whether SA prevents cognitive impairment, Morris water maze was performed. Results In this study, the efficacy of SA for the prevention of neuronal damage and for the reduction of memory impairment was investigated. Conclusion The results indicate that SA confers significant neuroprotection especially for ischemic hippocampal neurons.
