(-)-Acutumine/Dechloroacutumine (-)-Acutumine: - Isolated from Sinomeniumacutum. - Tetracyclic, spirocycle, 5 stereocenters. - Inhibits human T-cell proliferation. - Improves object/social recognition, memory in rat model. - Only one other total synthesis reported (Castle, 2009). (-)-Dechloroacutumine: - Isolated from Menispermumdauricum(Asian moonseed). - Direct metabolite of (-)-Acutumine. - No previously reported total synthesis. Menispermumdauricum
