Mr. Defreitas et al., MILONINE, AN 8,14-DIHYDROMORPHINANDIENONE ALKALOID FROM LEAVES OF CISSAMPELOS-SYMPODIALIS, Phytochemistry, 40(5), 1995, pp. 1553-1555
A novel 8,14-dihydromorphinandienone alkaloid was isolated from the dr
ied leaves of Cissampelos sympodialis. Spectroscopic analysis establis
hed its structure as (+)-(9 beta,13 beta,14 -4-hydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-1
7-methylmorphinan-7-one, to which we have given the name, milonine.
