Akageran and related alkaloids

A small group of alkaloids typified by Akagerine, a tetracyclic compound that consist of a b-carboline fused to an azepine ring, which is substituted by a methyl group and a 2-methyl butane group. Akageran and related alkaloids appears to be formed by bond-breaking of a corynanthe precursor followed by formation of a 7-membered ring.
