1. The epigeal part of V. erecta gathered in the Tashkent Oblast in the early vegetation period contains a mixture of alkaloids (2.7%). Separation of the total alkaloids gave vincanine, vincanidine, vinervine, akuammine, kopsinine, pseudokopsinine, and the new bases vinerine and vineridine. 2. The structure of vinerine has been established by a study of the IR, NMR, and mass spectra. Vineridine is isomeric with vinerine at C3 and C7. 3. A new base, hydroxyindole reserpinine, has been obtained from reserpinine. © 1967 The Faraday Press, Inc.
