Abstract:
... An investigation into the alkaloidal content of the bulbs of the Amaryllidaceae species, Crinum variabile (Jacq.) Herb., was performed for the first time and led to the isolation of 8 known alkaloids, namely: lycorine, 1,2-O-diacetyllycorine, 1-O-acetyllycorine, 2-O-acetyllycorine, haemanthidine, 6-epihaemanthidine, bulbispermine and criwelline. It should be noted that a “full set” of lycorine and ...
