Another alkaloid compound found in Alstonia species, with antimicrobial and other biological properties.
Formed from the genus Alstonia with the alkaloid suffix '-ine,' indicating a nitrogen-containing organic compound found in these tropical trees.
This alkaloid shows antimicrobial activity in lab tests, which might explain why traditional healers used Alstonia bark and leaves—they were unknowingly applying nature's antibiotics thousands of years before penicillin was discovered.
