✦ Synopsis

Chilocorine D, a new heptacyclic 'dimeric' alkaloid, has been isolated from the coccinellid beetle Chilocorus renipustulatus and its structure determined by 1D and 2D NMR analyses. It is constituted of a hippodamine moiety linked to a modified octahydro-azaacenaphtylene skeleton encompassing a seven-membered ring.
