A molecular modeling study of two alkaloids, tubulosine and psychotrine, isolated from the sap of Pogonopus speciosus, and other related ipecac alkaloids, showed that these flexible alkaloids favor a nonplanar structure. The biologically active compounds had conformations with a similar angle
Anaphasis may be slightly checked by various treatments which however result in a normal chromosomic separation. Griseofulvin exerts a direct though partial influence on the mitotic apparatus, which entails "pluripolar anaphasis"; on the other hand Ipecac alkaloïds act indirectly and produce
Here we present a general and common catalytic asymmetric strategy for the total and formal synthesis of a broad number of optically active natural products from the corynantheine and ipecac alkaloid families, for example, indolo[2,3-a]- and benzo[a]quinolizidines. Construction of the core alkaloid
A structural model for the inhibition of protein biosynthesis was previously formulated on the basis of a topochemical analogy between the ipecac alkaloids and the glutarimide antibiotics. The structure of tubulosine satisfies the requirements of this model. The prediction that such a compound would
