โฆ Synopsis
IN recent years many Aspidosperma species have been investigated chemically and a number of new alkaloids were found and shown to belong to three groups: derivatives of aihydroindoles, indoles, and pyridocarbazoles. The structures of most of these compounds have been elucidated recently.
1 The best known source of aspidosperma alkaloids is the bark of A. quebracho blanco Schlecht., 2 which contains three alkaloids of known structure; namely, aspidospermine, 3,4 quebrachanine5 and quebrachine (later found to be yohimbine$. In addition to these three alkaloids, Rssse had originally also isolated aspidospermatine, aspidosamine and hypoquebrachine. The existence of the three last-mentioned compounds, not well characterized, was doubted by some of the workers in the field..

IN continuation of our studies3 on the alkaloidal constituents of Brazilian Aspidosperma species, we have investigated the stem bark of Aspidosperma album (Vahl) R. Bent., which was collected in Manaus, Amaronas. The non-phenolic portion yielded the lcnown alkaloid4 (-)-quebmchamine, while from the
