A. Elshazly et al., PYRROLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS OF CYNOGLOSSUM-OFFICINALE AND CYNOGLOSSUM AMABILE (FAMILY BORAGINACEAE), Biochemical systematics and ecology, 24(5), 1996, pp. 415-421
Heliosupine, heliosupine N-oxide, 3'-acetylheliosupine, and viridiflor
ine were isolated and identified on the base of MS, H-1 and C-13 NMR f
rom Cynoglossum officinale. Altogether 14 pyrrolizidine alkaloids were
separated and identified by GLC and GLC-MS in the alkaloid extracts f
rom different parts of Cynoglossum officinale. From Cynoglossum amabil
e five pyrrolizidine alkaloids were recorded: supinine, amabiline, rin
derine, echinatine, and 3'-O-acetylechinatine. Copyright (C) 1996.
