The stem, stem bark, root and root bark of Cabucala fasciculata have been found
to contain a number of new alkaloids which have been chiefly investigated by
Titeux and his colleagues. This base is separated from the accompanying alkaloids
by column chromatography. It forms colourless crystals which melt over a very
wide range of temperature. Isocarboxine A has a specific rotation of [α]D +
31.7° (CHC13).
