Evolatine and 6-methoxy-7-hydroxydictamnine, alleged to have been isolated from the leaves of Monnieria trifotia L., appear to be identical to montrifoline and delbine respectively, the new alkaloids reported from the same source. Recently, we reported the structures of two new furoquinoline alkaloids, montrifoline(1) and delbine(2), isolated from the leaves of Monnieria trifotia L., a Rutaceous herb growing throughout the northeastern region of Brazil. About the same time, the isolation of the alkaloids alleged to be evolatine(3) and 6-methoxy-7-hydroxydictamnine(4) along with evoxine(2) and haplopine(7) were reported from the same source. In this communication, we wish to report that based on all the published data, the alkaloids claimed to be evolatine and 6-methoxy-7-hydroxydictamnine isolated from M. trifotia are actually montrifoline(1) and delbine(2), respectively.
