Abstract top

The title compound (trivial name: angustoline monohydrate), C20H17N3O2·H2O, features a fused-ring system formed by one five- and four six-membered rings. The nearly planar benzimidazole portion (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å) and the nearly planar 2,7-naphthyridin-1-one portion (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å) of the fused-ring system are slightly twisted, with a dihedral angle of 9.47 (8)°, owing to the tetrahedral nature of the two methylene linkages in the central six-membered ring. The secondary N atom acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to the water molecule of crystallization. In the crystal, the amino and hydroxy groups, and the water molecule are engaged in hydrogen bonding, generating a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

The alkaloid angustoline has been isolated from a number of plants: Camptotheca acuminata (Carte et al., 1990; Lin et al., 1988), Nauclea latifolia (Kakuguchi et al., 2009; Hotellier et al., 1975), Nauclea officinalis (Fan et al., 2010; Sun et al., 2008; Xuan et al., 2007), Nauclea orientalis (Erdelmeier et al., 1992), Nauclea pobeguinii (Zeches et al., 1985), Sarcocephalus latifolius (Abreu & Pereira, 1998; 2001) and Strychnos angustiflora (Au et al., 1973).

The alkaloid is isolated in the crystalline form as a monohydrate (Scheme I). The planar benzimidazole portion and the planar 2,7-naphthyridin-1-one portion of the fused-ring system are slightly twisted [dihedral angle 9.47 (8)°] owing to the tetrahedral nature of the two methylene linkages (Fig. 1). The secondary N atom is hydrogen-bond donor to the water molecule. The amino and hydroxy groups, and the lattice water molecule are engaged in hydrogen bonding to furnish a three-dimensional network (Table 1).

Experimental top

Nauclea subdita (Rubiaceae) was collected from Bukit Kinta forest reserve, Chemor, Perak, Malaysia, and specimens were deposited at the Herbarium, Department of Chemistry, University of Malaya.

Dried and ground bark of Nauclea subdita (1.7 kg) was extracted with hexane (17 L) for 3 days. The hexane extract was concentrated under reduced pressure. The dried plant material was soaked in ammonium hydroxide for 2 h. It was further extracted with dichloromethane (17 L) for 3 days. The dichloromethane extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude alkaloid (7.1 g). A portion (6.0 g) was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel 60 GF254 by using a step gradient of dichloromethane and methanol. One of the fractions when further purified by using dichloromethane/methanol (95:5) afforded the pure compound, whose formulation was established by NMR spectroscopic analysis.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) 1.2 to 1.5Ueq(C)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation.

The nitrogen and oxygen bound H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were freely refined.

The Flack parameter was determined from 1395 Friedel pairs.
