A cage-monoterpene indole alkaloid from Alstonia scholaris.
An unprecedented cage-like alkaloid, scholarisine A was isolated from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris and its structure determined on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR, FTIR, UV, and high-resolution mass spectroscopic data. This alkaloid might be derived from picrinine via oxygenation, rearrangement, and lactonization.
