Capparisinine, a New Alkaloid from <i>Capparis decidua</i>

Abstract

Abstract From the root bark of Capparis decidua (Capparidaceae), a new spermidine alkaloid, capparisinine was isolated. The structure 1 of the alkaloid was determined by means of spectral studies and correlation with other known alkaloids of similar structures. Capparisinine is a positional isomer of capparidisine which is known already as a constituent of this plant.
