Sixteen alkaloids have been isolated from the fruits of Kopsia officinalis Tsiang and P. T. Li (Apocynaceae), a plant commonly used in folk medicine for treating tonsillitis and rheumatism. Ten of them were identified as known alkaloids — eburnamenine ( 1 ), kopsanone ( 2 ), 5, 18‐dioxokopsan ( 3 ), kopsinilam ( 4 ), kopsinine ( 5 ), pleiocarpine ( 6 ), kopsamine ( 7 ), N ‐carbomethoxy‐12‐methoxykopsinaline ( 8 ), N ‐carbomethoxy‐11, 12‐dimethoxykopsinaline ( 9 ) and (+)‐vincadifformine ( 13 ). The other three have now been proved to be new. They are N ‐carbomethoxy‐11‐hydroxy‐12‐methoxy‐kopsinaline ( 10 ), N ‐carbomethoxy‐11‐methoxy‐12‐hydroxykopsinaline ( 11 ) and kopsamine N ‐oxide ( 12 ).
