Chemistry:Carbazole alkaloids
From HandWiki
The carbazole alkaloids are natural products of the indole alkaloid type, derived from carbazole.[1]
Occurrence
Carbazole alkaloids with unsubstituted benzene rings occur rarely. Olivacin has been found in the bark of Aspidosperma olivaceum and ellipticin in Ochrosia elliptica.[2] Some carbazole alkaloids, especially glybomin B, have been isolated from Glycosmis pentaphylla.[3]
Representatives
Representatives include, among others, glycozoline, olivacine and ellipticin[2] and further glybomine B.[3]
Glycozoline
Olivacine
Ellipticin
Glybomine B
Properties
Carbazole alkaloids have cytotoxic and antifungal properties. Furthermore, they have detrimental effects against HIV viruses and tumor cells.[3] Olivacin has fluorescent properties.[2]
