Abstract
Psychotripine, a trimeric pyrroloindoline derivative with an unprecedented hendecacyclic system bearing a hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine unit, was isolated from the leaves of Psychotria pilifera. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and quantum theory. A possible biogenesis was also postulated.
