β¦ Synopsis
In cularly examine connection with our interest in Hitragyna alkaloids and partithe unusual k-methoxy-indole mitragynine (2) , we had occasion to two batches of N. pciosa, collected six months apart on Luzon in the phillippines and another collected on Mindanao. Mitragynine was reported (3) found in this species in Borneo but no trace of it was found in our samples. From the bark and leaves of the latter, however, we have succeeded in isolating by the usual procedure Ck) rhynocophylline (Id)(5) and a new alkaloid named stipulatine from its discovery first in the leaves of r. rubrostipulata. jJe have assigned the structure Ia to this alkaloid as follows. Stipulatine (C,,H,~N,O,, pKa (SG$ EtCH) 5.2, [o]i6*6 = +lcS*+-10 (CHCls), m.p. 238-bO")(6) was shown to contain two methoxyl functions by

The structure of mitragynaline, an indole alkaloid isolated from Malaysian Mitragyna speciosa, was revised as formula 3 by analysis of the NMR spectra measured at low temperature and by chemical transformation with DDQ oxidation from the known alkaloid mitragynine (5).
Three new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, i.e., 3,4,5,6-tetradehydromitragynine, mitralactonal, and mitrasulgynine carrying a sulfonate function, were isolated, together with seven known compounds, from the leaves ofMitragyna speciosa native to Malaysia.
