A dimeric indole alkaloid, isovincathicine consisting of an aspidosperma type and modified iboga with C-7-C-20 connection type skeletons was first isolated from Catharanthus roseus, and the structure including stereochemistry was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as DP4 statistical analysis. Isovincathicine inhibited cell proliferation in A549 cells. We investigated the detailed mode of action of isovincathicine-induced inhibitory effects on cell proliferation in A549 cells.
