Two <i>Alangium</i> Alkaloids from <i>Alangium </i><i>l</i><i>amarckii</i>

Abstract

Two new Alangium alkaloids, 1',2'-dehydrotubulosine (1) and alangine (2), were isolated from the dried fruits of Alangium lamarckii along with tubulosine (3), isotubulosine (4), deoxytubulosine, cephaeline, isocephaeline, psychotrine, neocephaeline, 10-O-demethylcephaeline, 2'-N-(1"-deoxy-1" -beta-D-fructopyranosyl)cephaeline, protoemetine, protoemetinol, salsoline, and alangiside. The structures of the new alkaloids (1 and 2) were determined by spectroscopic and chemical means.
