Abstract

A new indole alkaloid, N,N-methyl-3′-indolylmethyl-5-methoxytryptamine (4), as well as the known gramine, N,N-dimethyltryptamine and 6-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline were isolated from the roots of Antirhea lucida (Sw.) Hook (Rubiaceae). Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods.
