When medical Dr. John Naysmith reports to his new assignment on Mars, he's immediately confronted by a crisis: the outbreak of an alien virus among several men who've been exploring the Martian landscape. The entire base is quarantined, and the Security Chief tells Naysmith that he has just 72 hours to find a solution, or the base will be destroyed by nuclear bombs to prevent the infection from spreading. With time running out, there's just one more option: visiting the crater that's the source of the infection. Can the doctor develop a vaccine in time?

Volume 4 of the Encyclopedia of the Alkaloids covers the literature to the end of 1981 and includes those compounds which have been discovered since Volume 3 was published in 1977. There is also a small number of entries giving recently determined structure or addi­ tional information regarding alkaloids given in the preceding three volumes. It is a great pleasure to thank the staff of the John Rylands Science Library of the Univer­ sity of Manchester for kindly providing me with access to the literature on this subject.

Indefinite I I OAc The root bark of Rauwolfia nitida yields this yohimbine-type alkaloid which has been ob­ tained as an off-white amorphous powder having no definite melting point. The base is lae­ 2 vorotatory with a specific rotation of [aJ5 -89° (c 0. 01, CHCI ) and gives an ultraviolet 3 spectrum in MeOH with absorption maxima at 225,284 and 290 nm. The structure has been established from chemical and spectroscopic analysis. M. A. Amer, W. E. Court, Phytochem. , 20,2569 (1981) 14-ACETYLBROWNINE ___ :(OMe M. p.

Volume 3 of the Encyclopedia of the Alkaloids covers the literature to the end of October 1976 and includes a large number of these compounds which have been discovered since the first two volumes were published in 1975. There are some entries where recent work has resulted in new structures being put forward or where additional details regarding compounds have been provided. Additional references to compounds given in the first two volumes are marked with an asterisk. The opportunity has also been taken to provide a formula index covering all three volumes. It is a great pleasure to thank Academician Professor S. Yu. Yunusov of the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, for pointing out a number of errors in the two previous volumes and for kindly providing me with invaluable detailed information of the alkaloids which have been isolated and studied by Soviet chemists over many years.
