M. Sotohernandez et Ah. Jackson, ERYTHRINA ALKALOIDS - ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ALKALOIDS FROM 7 ERYTHRINA SPECIES, Planta medica, 60(2), 1994, pp. 175-177
The alkaloids present in the seeds of seven Erythrina species, E. fusc
a Lour, E. costaricencis M. Micheli, E. leptorhiza A. DC., E. speciosa
Andrews, E. variegata L., E. melanacantha Taubert ex Harms, and E. be
rteroana Urban, have been screened by gas chromatography-mass spectrom
etry (GC/MS). The novel alkaloid erythrartine N-oxide has been isolate
d from E. berteroana and characterized as an N-oxide of the known alka
loid, erythrartine.
