A second alkaloid isolated from Nauclea diderrichii, this base melts over a very wide range from I 02-4°C to 172-183°C, possibly with intermediate solidifica_x0002_tion and some decomposition. A methoxycarbonyl group and two imino groups are present, one of the latter being in a reduced seven-membered ring.
