Six sc&fium (MesembrW alkaloids (l)-(6) are identified, together with Nfl-dimethYltyramine (lo) as constihrents of SCeJ&um ~~Vehtinum. The alkaloids (l)-(6) incorporate label from radioactive tYramme (8) and 4-hYdroxYPhenYlProPionic acid (12) as expeCted; notably [3,S-3H]-4-hydroxYdihydrocinnamaldeh

Abstract
The mass spectra of several naturally occuring Sceletium alkaloids, as well as several synthetic variants, have been investigated. Techniques used include high resolution mass measurements, analysis of metastable transitions by the technique of ion defocusing and specific deuterium labeling in conjunction with low resolution mass spectrometry. Characteristic major fragmentation pathways have been determined for four basic structure types studied: the cisβ3aβarylβoctahydroindole ring system, exemplified by mesembrine; its 2,3βpyrido analog, Sceletium A~4~; the seco series of pyridine bases, represented by tortuosamine; and the seco analog of the mesembrineβtype represented by tortuosamine; and the seco analog of the mesembrineβtype represented by dehydrojoubertiamine.
