Total syn<strong>the</strong>ses of strychnan-type and aspidospermatan-type alkaloids .2. Generati<br />

1993<br />

Journal of Organic Chemistry<br />

58(26): 7482-7489<br />

Abstract<br />

The syn<strong>the</strong>sis of N(b)-benzyl-2-(dimethyl 2-malonyl)- and 2-(methyl 2-acetyl)tryptamines (21, 25)<br />

provides access to methyl 4-(3-furanyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-5-carboxylate<br />

(12) and methyl 3-benzyl-5-(3-furanyl)-2,3,3a,4,5,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole-6-<br />

carboxylate (9), potential intermediates <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>ses of strychnos alkaloids. A new condensationsigmatropic<br />

rearrangement reaction gives <strong>the</strong> tetracyclic product 9 directly from <strong>the</strong> tryptamine 25.<br />

Strychnopentamine, a potential anticancer agent.<br />

1993<br />

Planta Medica<br />

59(1): 59-62<br />

Abstract<br />

We analysed <strong>the</strong> effects of strychnopentamine, an alkaloid isolated from <strong>Strychnos</strong> usambarensis, on<br />

an Ehrlich ascites tumor growing in <strong>the</strong> mouse after inoculation. Four subcutaneous injections of 1. 5<br />

mg strychnopentamine (1 per day) induce a significant decrease of <strong>the</strong> number of tumor cells and a<br />

significant increase of <strong>the</strong> survival of <strong>the</strong> treated mice. Observed side effects are partial haemolysis<br />
