Two new amaryllidaceae alkaloids from the bulbs of Lycoris radiata.
Two new Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, named lycoranines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the bulbs of Lycoris radiata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. Compound 2 was a new-type alkaloid, which provided a new insight into the biosynthesis of alkaloids in Amaryllidaceae plants.

متن کاملSomatic Embryogenesis of Some Member Ornamental Genera of Amaryl- lidaceae and Allied Families: the Similarities and Differences
Somatic embryogenesis has been employed in various basic and applied studies such as cellular differentiation of plants, generating transgenic en masse and for mass propagation of elite, endangered and ornamental plants. The studies undertaken in some monocot genera (Eucharis, Hippeastrum, Crinum, Caladium, Gloriosa and Allium) suggest that in vitro embryogeny may also help in establishing rela...
متن کاملTowards a Molecular Understanding of the Biosynthesis of Amaryllidaceae Alkaloids in Support of Their Expanding Medical Use
The alkaloids characteristically produced by the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllidaceae, bulbous plant species that include well know genera such as Narcissus (daffodils) and Galanthus (snowdrops), are a source of new pharmaceutical compounds. Presently, only the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid galanthamine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, is pr...
