I. Gerasimenko et al., 3-oxo-rhazinilam: A new indole alkaloid from Rauvolfia serpentina x Rhazyastricta hybrid plant cell cultures, J NAT PROD, 64(1), 2001, pp. 114-116
A new monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, 3-oxo-rhazinilam (1), was isolated fro
m intergeneric somatic hybrid cell cultures of Rauvolfia serpentina and Rha
zya stricta, and the structure was determined by detailed 1D and 2D NMR ana
lysis. It was also proved that 3-oxo-rhazinilam (1) is a natural constituen
t of the hybrid cells.
