Ervatamia flabellformia Tsiang (Apocynaceae) [1] is a common plant cultivated in Yunnan and Guanxi provinces of China, and its chemical constituents have not been reported yet. As a part of our continuous research on anti-addictive constituents from the genus Ervatamia [2, 3], thirteen indole alkaloids were isolated from the stems of Ervatamia flabellformia.The stems of E. flabellformia were collected in October 2002 in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province and identified by senior engineer Wang Hong, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanic Garden of the Chinese Academy of Science. A voucher specimen (No. 200210-1) has been deposited in the Herbarium of the School of Pharmacy, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai.The air-dried and powdered stems (12 kg) were extracted with 95% EtOH (50 L) under reflux. After removal of EtOH by evaporation under reduced pressure, the residues were extracted with 2% HCl. The aqueous layer was basified with NH 4 OH and partitioned with CHCl 3 . The CHCl 3 layer was dried over Na 2 SO 4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 45 g of crude alkaloid fraction, which was submitted to repeated column chromatography over silica gel and Sephadex LH20 (MeOH) to yield 13 indole alkaloids.All compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods, including NMR and mass spectrometry (NMR spectra were acquired on a Bruker DRX-500 spectrometer with TMS as internal standard, operating at 500 MHz for 1 H and 13 C; ESIMS data were obtained on a Q-Tof micro mass spectrometer; silica gel H (10-40 μm) for column chromatography and HPTLC plates precoated with silica gel HF 254 (5-7 μm) were supplied by Zhifu Huangwu Silica Gel D & R Plant, Yantai, China; Sephadex LH-20 and ODS were purchased from Pharmacia and Merck, respectively. The spectroscopic data of all compounds were in good agreement with the literature data [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. All these structures are isolated from E. flabellformia for the first time.Dihydroperivine (1), colorless cubic crystal (methyl acetate), C 20 H 24 N 2 O 3 . 1 H and 13 C NMR data are shown in Tables 1 and 3 [4].3-(R)-Hydroxyvoacangine (2), white powder, C 22 H 28 N 2 O 4 .
