Infobox references

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

Biological activity

Rhazinilam has activity similar to that of colchicine, taxol and vinblastine, acting as an inhibitor of the tubulin-microtubules equilibrium.[1]

Total synthesis

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

Trauner synthesis

Rhazinilam was synthesized by the Trauner group in 2005.[3]
