Abstract

A new $\beta$-carboline alkaloid, 1-carbobutoxy-$\beta$-carboline as well as $N_{9}$ -formylharman, 1-carboethoxy-$\beta$-carboline, 1-carbomethoxy-$\beta$- carboline, perloyrine, harman and norharman were isolated from the rhizoma of Polygala tenuifolia Willdenow. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies and chemical evidence.
