Methylation is a common structural modification of catechins in tea, which can improve the bioavailability of catechins. Flavoalkaloids are catechin derivatives with a nitrogen containing five-membered ring at the C-6 or C-8 position. Here we isolated three new methylated flavoalkaloids from Echa 1 green tea (Camellia sinensiscv.Echa 1) and synthesized another four new methylated flavoalkaloids. The structures of the new ester-type methylated catechins (etmc)-pyrrolidinone A-G (1–7) were elucidated by various spectroscopic techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), optical rotation, infrared, UV–vis, experimental and calculated circular dichroism (CD) spectra, and high-resolution mass. Among them,6and7showed the strongestα-glucosidase inhibitory activity and significantly lowered lipid content ofCaenorhabditis eleganswith 73.50 and 67.39% inhibition rate, respectively. Meanwhile,6and7also exhibited strong antioxidant activityin vitroand stress resistance to heat, oxidative stress, and UV irradiation in nematodes.
