This alkaloid from Rauwolfia serpentina is separated from the preceding base by column chromatography on alumina and yields colourless crystals from EtOH. The ultraviolet spectrum shows two absorption maxima at 250 and 293 mil. No methoxyl or methylenedioxy groups are present. The alkaloid is readily soluble in MeOH or EtOH, sparingly so in CHC13,C6H620. | [Uses]
Tetraphyllicine is an alkaloid, which can be isolated from Rauwolfia tetraphylla L. Tetraphyllicine can be used in research about the biosynthetic relationship of indole and indoline alkaloids[1]. | [References]
