coronaridine/ervatamia coronaria

A new bisindole alkaloid, 19,20-dihydroervahanine A was isolated from the stems of Ervatamia coronaria grown in Brazil, together with five known alkaloids: coronaridine, heyneanine, voacristine, voacamine, descarbomethoxyvoacamine and five phenolic acids: vanillic, gentisic, syringic,

The whole plant of Ervatamia coronaria var. plena obtained from Thailand has afforded a new indole alkaloid 19S-heyneanine hydroxyindolenine whose structure was deduced through interpretation of spectral data. Nine known alkaloids, coronaridine, coronaridine hydroxyindolenine, voacangine, voacangine

BACKGROUND The ethanol extracts and their fractions of three Indian medicinal plants, Ervatamia coronaria (Jacq.) Stapf, (Apocynaceae), Mimosa pudica L. (Mimosaceae) and Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. (Caesalpiniaceae) were tested for their cytotoxic activity in the brine shrimp lethality (BSL)
