Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids from Heliotropium indicum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Um novo alcalóide denominado Helindicina (1), e o conhecido licopsamina (2) foram isolados das raízes de Heliotropium indicum (Boraginaceae). As estruturas foram estabelecidas tendo como base um amplo estudo de 1D e 2D RMN (COSY, HMBC, HMQC, NOESY) e HREIMS. Este representa o primeiro relato de um alcalóide contendo um anel lacônico no gênero Heliotropium. Estes alcalóides mostraram moderada atividade antioxidante.

متن کاملOrnithine decarboxylase, polyamines, and pyrrolizidine alkaloids in senecio and crotalaria.
When tested for ornithine and arginine decarboxylases, pyrrolizidine alkaloid-bearing Senecio riddellii, S. longilobus (Compositae), and Crotalaria retusa (Leguminosae) plants exhibited only ornithine decarboxylase activity. This contrasts with previous studies of four species of pyrrolizidine alkaloid-bearing Heliotropium (Boraginaceae) in which arginine decarboxylase activity was very high re...
متن کاملPyrrolizidine Alkaloids from Heliotropium
Investigation of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids of Heliotropium arbainense resulted in the isolation and identification of heliotrine, europine and 7-angelylheliotrine. From H. ovalifolium three alkaloids were isolated: supinine, 7-angelylheliotridine and an alkaloid which was shown to be of the heliotridine monoester type with a dehydrated viridifloric acid.
