Dehydrosecodine is a terpene indole alkaloid. It is believed to be the formed from stemmadenine and lead to the formation of tabersonine and catharanthine alkaloids through different rearrangements. The enzymes involved forming dehydrosecodine or utilizing it as a substrate for further chemical reactions are currently unknown.
