Catharanthus Alkaloids XXXVII. 16-Epi-Z-Isositsirikine, a Monomeric Indole Alkaloid with Antineoplastic Activity from Catharanthus roseus and Rhazya stricta

Abstract
16-epi-Z-isositsirikine was isolated from the leaves of C. roseus and R. stricta and identified through a combination of spectral interpretation and chemical correlation. The compound displayed antineoplastic activity in the KB [human oral carcinoma cells] test system in vitro and the P-388 [mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells] test system in vivo.
