Catharanthus alkaloids XXXII: isolation of alkaloids from Catharanthus trichophyllus roots and structure elucidation of cathaphylline.
Cordell,Farnsworth
, p. 366 - 369 (1976)
Further examination of the cytotoxic alkaloid fractions of Catharanthus trichophyllus roots afforded nine alkaloids. Two of these alkaloids, lochnericine and horhammericine, are responsible for part of the cytotoxic activity. The structure elucidation of cathaphylline, a new beta-anilino acrylate derivative, is described.

19-Epi-(+)-echitoveniline, a new indole alkaloid of the leaves of Alstonia venenata R.Br., has been shown the possess the structure and absolute stereochemistry represented by 5b on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence.A mechanistic rationale for the dependence of the mode of LAH reduction of the δ-lactone 11 on its configuration at C-19 has been offered.The influence of the C-19 configuration on the chemical shift values of the C-16 carbomethoxy protons in the 19-aroyloxy-(+)-and (-)-vincadifformine alkaloids has been discussed.
