Abstract
From the leaves of Buxus sempervirens has been isolated, in addition t o known alkaloids, a new alkaloid, spirofornabuxine (1), and its struc ture was determined by NMR spectroscopic analysis. This new alkaloid c an be considered as the first member of a new group of steroidal deriv atives, the spirobuxus alkaloids. Its implication in the biosynthesis of other Buxus alkaloids is discussed.
