Stemmadenine

Stemmadenine is a terpene indole alkaloid. Stemmadenine is believed to be formed from preakuammicine by a carbon-carbon bond cleavage. Cleavage of a second carbon-carbon bond is thought to form dehydrosecodine.[1] The enzymes forming stemmadenine and using it as a substrate remain unknown to date.
