The new dimeric alkaloid arundaphine, a tryptamine—tryptamine base, was isolated from roots and rhizomes of Arundo donax (Poaceae). Spectral data and an x-ray structure analysis established its structure as 1-[3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-4-indolyl]-3-hydroxy-3-(2-methylaminoethyl)-2-indolinone.
