## Occurrence

Carbazole alkaloids with unsubstituted benzene rings occur rarely. Olivacin has been found in the bark of Aspidosperma olivaceum and ellipticin in Ochrosia elliptica.[2] Some carbazole alkaloids, especially glybomin B, have been isolated from Glycosmis pentaphylla.[3]

## Representatives

Representatives include, among others, glycozoline, olivacine and ellipticin[2] and further glybomine B.[3]

* Glycozoline

* Olivacine

* Ellipticin

* Glybomine B

## Properties

Carbazole alkaloids have cytotoxic and antifungal properties. Furthermore, they have detrimental effects against HIV viruses and tumor cells.[3] Olivacin has fluorescent properties.[2]
