Abstract

The natural indole alkaloid (-)-tabersonine (1) easily provided (-)-decahydrotabersonine (4a), isolated as dihydrochloride (4b), by catalytic hydrogenation. Saponification of 4a led to the beta-amino acid 5. A binding study of 1, 4b, and 5 on various receptors and ionic channels showed that none of the compounds had a strong affinity for the receptors tested.
