The Alkaloids of Rauwolfia oreogiton.
11 indole alkaloids were isolated from Rauwolfia oreogiton roots and identified. The alkaloids comprised dihydroindole, heteroyohimbine, oxindole, yohimbine and 18-hydroxy-yohimbine ester types. Chromatographic comparison of alkaloidal extracts from Rauwolfia oreogiton and Rauwolfia volkensii roots revealed no basis for chemical differentiation of the species.
