Alkaloids from roots and leaves of Alangium salviifolium Wang. subsp. hexapetalum Wang

Abstract

The study of alkaloids from roots and leaves of Alangium salviifolium Wang subsp hexapetalum Wang has led to the isolation of psychotrine, demethylpsychotrine, emetine and tubulosine from the roots and a mixture from the leaves of alangimarckine and an alkaloid tentatively identified as I-dehydroalangimarckine. The identification and structure elucidation of the isolated compounds were executed by analyses of the MS, IR, UV and NMR spectral data, as well as comparison to previously supported data.
