Rhazinilam

Rhazinilam is an alkaloid first isolated in 1965 by Linde from the Melodinus australis plant. It was later isolated from the shrub Rhazya stricta as well as from other organisms.

Biological activity

Rhazinilam has activity similar to that of colchicine, taxol and vinblastine, acting as a spindle poison.[1]

Total synthesis

Rhazinilam was first synthesized in 1973 by Smith and coworkers, and multiple subsequent times.[2]

Rhazinilam – Trauner synthesis
gollark: I have at least two arch-related memes.
gollark: Nope, I use Arch btw and am contractually obligated to tell you that.
gollark: MacOS *does* probably beat Windows.
gollark: That would be neat, although probably hard to cool and power sensibly since desktop CPUs are very hot.
gollark: At least mine actually has replaceable memory/storage, and adequate cooling.
