title: [Alkaloids of the hairy roots of Ipomoea batatas Lam].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the alkaloid constituents of the hairy roots of Ipomoea batatas Lam.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chromatographic methods were used for isolation and purification. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectral data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An alkaloid was isolated from the hairy roots of Ipomoea batatas.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The compound is a novel indole-type alkaloid, which is named as ipomine A.
