Popis: A new gluco indole alkaloid, 3,4-dehydro-5-carboxystrictosidine, was obtained from Peruvian Uña de Gato (Cat's Claw, original plant: Uncaria tomentosa) together with two known gluco indole alkaloids. This compound was the first example of isolation of a gluco monoterpenoid indole alkaloid having a 3,4-dihydro-beta-carboline ring system from nature. A characteristic feature of the compound was the quick replacement of the methylene hydrogens on C-14 with deuterium that was observed when it was dissolved in CD3OD. We demonstrated a similar proton-deuterium exchange on a model compound, 1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-gamma-carboline, in CD3OD solution.
