Racemic phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids tylophorine, antofine, and deoxytylophorinine, and optically pure alkaloids S-(+)-tylophorine and R-(−)-tylophorine were synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Further salinization modifications based on tylophorine increased stability and water solubility and improved the antiviral activity in application. The bioassay results showed that most of these synthesized compounds showed higher antiviral activity against TMV in vitro and in vivo than commercial Ningnanmycin. Especially, tylophorine salt derivatives 10, 11, 13, 17, and 22 emerged as potential inhibitors of plant virus. These findings demonstrate that these phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids and their salt derivatives represent a new template for antiviral studies and could be considered for novel therapy against plant virus infection.
