Notes:
One known and four new alkaloids have been isolated from C. durissima STAPF. Isovoacangine (VII) (first isolated from Stemmadenia), conopharyngine (VIII), and possibly also Alkaloid E are monomeric isoquinuclidine bases found in root and stem bark; conodurine and conoduramine, however, are dimeric and found only in the roots. A mild and simple method is described for the decarbomethoxylation of ester bases of the voacangine type to substances of the ibogaine type.
