A new iridoid alkaloid containing a spirolactone unit, plumericidine ( 1 ), was isolated from the flowers of Plumeria rubra L. cv. Acutifolia. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic evidence and confirmed by X‐ray diffraction crystallography. Its anticancer and antiviral activities were evaluated, but found to be insignificant.
