Alkaloids from Sedum telephium L.

Two new alkaloids from Narcissus serotinus L.

The Amaryllidaceae family is well known for the presence of an exclusive group of alkaloids with a wide range of biological activities. Narcissus serotinus L. is a plant belonging to this family and its geographical distribution is mainly located along the Mediterranean coast. In the present work, specimens collected near Casablanca (Morocco) were used to study the alkaloid content of this spec...

/?-Carboline Alkaloids from Ribes nigrum L

From Ribes nigrum L. two ß-carboline alkaloids (deshydroxymethyl flazin (1) and flazin methyl ether (2)) could be isolated in minute amounts. The structure elucidation is described. The two compounds are present in the freshly pressed juice, but they are also formed during storage of the juice by condensation of tryptophane with ascorbic acid or its degradation products. This could be shown by ...

New Adducts of Iriflophene and Flavonoids Isolated from Sedum aizoon L. with Potential Antitumor Activity.

Four new special compounds with character of an iriflophene unit and a flavonoid unit connecting via a furan ring were isolated from the roots of Sedum aizoon L. Their corresponding structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The in vitro anti-proliferative activities against BXPC-3, A549, and MCF-7 tumor cell lines were evaluated. Compounds 3 and 4 exhibited moderate cyt...

Alkaloids and Phenolic Compounds from Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae) and Vasorelaxant Activity of Two Indoquinoline Alkaloids.

The follow-up of phytochemical and pharmacological studies of Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae) aims to strengthen the chemosystematics and pharmacology of Sida genera and support the ethnopharmacological use of this species as hypotensive herb. The present work reports phytoconstituents isolated and identified from aerial parts of S. rhombifolia by using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods...

Investigations of diterpene alkaloids isolated from Aconitum anthora L. and A. moldavicum L., and of aconitine-derived lipo-alkaloids
