Isolation and Characterization of Two New Alkaloids, Norpandamarilactonine-A and -B, from <i>Pandanus amaryllifolius</i> by Spectroscopic and Synthetic Methods

Abstract

Two new alkaloids, norpandamarilactonine-A (1) and -B (2), which have a pyrrolidinyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-lactone moiety as in the known pandamarilactonine alkaloids, were isolated from the leaves of Pandanus amaryllifolius. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and total synthesis.
