Eleven main alkaloids were identified from cell suspension cultures of Rhazya stricta grown in 4X-medium for 15 days. The alkaloids comprised the five groups Corynanthe, Strychnos, Eburnan, Secodine, and Aspidosperma and can be regarded as being typical Rhazya alkaloids, although the Strychnos alkaloid akuammicine has been isolated for the first time from the genus Rhazya. The most abundant compound was ( + )-1,2-dehydroaspidospermidine (15 mg/l medium) whereas all other constituents were synthesized in about 5 - 10 times lower amounts. More than 15 further alkaloids were formed as minor components which have not yet been identified. Cultivated Rhazya cells have been shown to be one of the richest alkaloid sources from apocynaceous cell suspensions. The isolated compounds, because of their structural heterogeneity, cannot be presently arranged into a scheme with coherent biosynthetic sequences.

Abstract Cell suspension cultures of Stemmadenia tomentosa synthesized under normal growth condition the eight major indole alkaloids: (-)-tabersonine, (-)-minovincinine, (+)-conoflorine (voaphyl-line), condylocarpine, (+)-tubotaiwine (dihydrocondylocarpine), (-)-norfluorocurarine (vin-canine), (-)-vinervine, and (-)-coronaridine. These alkaloids consist of the three different types, Aspidosperma, Strychnos and Iboga. In contrast, cultures o f Voacanga africana produced mainly one alkaloid group (Aspidosperma-type) represented by (-)-tabersonine, lochnericine and (-)-minovincinine. Therefore this cell culture seems to be qualified for investigation concerning the biosynthesis of Aspidosperma alkaloids.

From cell suspension cultures of Ochrosia elliptica Labill. eight different monoterpenoid indole alkaloids were isolated and comprised three alkaloid classes viz. Corynanthe/Heteroyohimbine (tetrahydroalstonine, cathenamine, pleiocarpamine and two methoxylated heteroyohimbines), Strychnos (norfluorocurarine), Apparicine (apparicine and epchrosine). A ll these compounds except the Strychnos alkaloid are biogenetically closely related to the known alkaloids occurring in Ochrosia plants, although such alkaloids have not previously been detected in O. elliptica. Epchrosine has not before been described as a natural product.
