==History== The alkaloids are a large group of natural products which are classified according to the part-structure which members of a particular group contain. Akuammicine is a monoterpene indole alkaloid of the Vinca sub-group which shares a common biosynthesis with other members, namely that they are derived from strictosidine. It was first isolated in 1927 and had been investigated by Sir Robert Robinson and others before its structure was correctly deduced. This was confirmed by X-ray crystallography in 2017.
