19-Epivoacristine is an indole alkaloid found in different species of Tabernaemontana, such as Tabernaemontana dichotoma, as well as in Peschiera affinis.[1] It is also known as 20-epivoacangarine and 19-epi-voacangarine.[2]

Potential pharmacology

[edit]

19-Epivoacristine may be a selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor in vitro.[3]

Chemistry

[edit]

19-Epivoacristine can be prepared by potassium borohydride reduction of voacryptine.[4]
