title: An immunosuppressive tryptophan-derived alkaloid from Lepidagathis cristata.
abstract: An immunosuppressive, tryptophan-derived alkaloid cristatin A (1), and two known compounds, cycloartenol and stigmasta-5,11(12)-diene-3 beta-ol, were isolated from the whole plant Lepidagathis cristata Willd. The structures of the isolates were established by interpretation of their spectral data.
