Two new quaternary alkaloids, compound 1 and the 14-oxo derivative 2, were isolated along with the known alkaloid strictosamide (3) from the leaves of Psychotria prunifolia (Kunth) Steyerm. (Rubiaceae, Psychotriae). Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, IR, and HRMS). © 2010 Phytochemical Society of Europe. Published by Elsevier B.V.
