Abstract
A new sesquiterpene, scodopin, and a mixture of three tryptamine-type alkaloids, scorodocarpines AC, were isolated from the
fruits of Scorodocarpus borneensis, together with a known hemisynthetic sesquiterpene, cadalene-b-carboxylic acid, which was isolated from the bark. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by interpretation of spectral data, especially tandem
mass spectrometry for the alkaloid mixture. # 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction
From the fruits of Scorodocarpus borneensis (Baill.)
Becc. (Olacaceae) collected in Malaysia, we have isolated a new sesquiterpene scodopin 1 and a mixture of
three tryptamine-type alkaloids named scorodocarpines
AC (24). In addition, a sesquiterpene 5 of the cadalene group was isolated from the bark. Compound 5 has
been synthesized previously, but was not known as a
natural product (Parasmeswara Reddy and Khrisna
Rao, 1982). The structures of the new compounds were
established especially by 2D NMR along with tandem
mass spectrosmetry (LSIMS/MS) for compounds 24.
