Abstract

From the flowers of Ervatamia coronaria four indole alkaloids have been isolated and characterized as harmine, heyneanine, voacristine and apparicine with the help of various spectral data. The alkaloids Harmine and Heyneanine are reported first time from the flowers of Ervatamia coronaria.
