Indole Alkaloids from Quassia amara.
Three beta-carboline alkaloids have been isolated for the first time from the wood of QUASSIA AMARA L. (Simarubaceae) and their structures were determined to be 1-vinyl-4,8-dimethoxy-beta-carboline ( 1), 1-methoxycarbonyl-beta-carboline ( 2), and 3-methylcantin-2,6-dione ( 3) by spectral and chemical means.
