Vincadifformine

(-)-vincadifformine is an aspidosperma alkaloid that is (5alpha,12beta,19alpha)-2,3-didehydroaspidospermidine which is substituted at position 3 by a methoxycarbonyl group. A natural product found in several species in the Apocynaceae (dogbane) family, including Alstonia spatulata. It has a role as an antiplasmodial drug and a plant metabolite. It is an Aspidosperma alkaloid, a methyl ester, an organonitrogen heterocyclic compound, an organic heteropentacyclic compound, a secondary amino compound and a tertiary amino compound. It is a conjugate base of a (-)-vincadifformine(1+). It is an enantiomer of a (+)-vincadifformine.
