Abstract:
From cell suspension cultures of Tabernaemontana divaricata and Tabernanthe iboga grown under standard conditions, six monoterpenoid indole alkaloids have been isolated and identified. T. divaricata synthesized apparicine, catharanthine, coronaridine, conoflorine, tubotaiwine and vinervine, whereas T. iboga produced tubotaiwine and conoflorine. Both cultures are a reasonable source for conoflorine, which is expected to be a good candidate for studying the mechanism of Aspidosperma type alkaloid formation at the cell-free level.
