A novel monoterpene alkaloid, oxerine, has been isolated from the aerial parts of OXERA MORIERI. Its structure 7 has been elucidated on the basis of its spectral data and its sterochemistry established by its synthesis, using harpagide as starting material. Five iridoids and verbascoside have also been isolated from the plant material.
