Circular dichroism studies of bisindole Vinca alkaloids
Abstract The analysis of a series of seventeen vinblastine analogs by circular dichroism is described. Exciton coupling of the indole and indoline chromophores of these compounds provides a general, non-empirical method for the assignment of the C16′ configuration with the bioactive C16′-S and the inactive C16′-R analogs giving rise, respectively, to

Rare Bisindole Alkaloids from the Amazonian Tree Raputia simulans
AbstractThe stem bark of Raputia simulans (Rutaceae) has been reported to contain simple and dimeric indole alkaloids. Further phytochemical investigation of R. simulans stem bark resulted in the isolation of three new alkaloids. These compounds represent a relatively new category of dimeric indole alkaloids with a cyclohexene moiety in their core ...
