H. Guinaudeau et al., TRADITIONAL MEDICINAL-PLANTS OF THAILAND .25. BISBENZYLISOQUINOLINE ALKALOIDS FROM CYCLEA-BARBATA, Journal of natural products, 56(11), 1993, pp. 1989-1992
Continuing studies of the alkaloidal fraction from the roots of Cyclea
barbata afforded two new bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, namely, (-)
-2'-norlimacine [1] and (+)-cycleabarbatine [2]. The known (+)-tetrand
rine-2'-beta-N-oxide [3], for which the configuration of the N-oxide f
unction is now assigned, was identified, as were (+)-berbamine, (-)-re
pandine, (+)-cycleanorine, (+)-daphnandrine, (-)-curine, (+)-coclaurin
e, and (-)-N-methylcoclaurine.
