N. Unver et al., Three new tazettine-type alkaloids from Galanthus gracilis and Galanthus plicatus subsp byzantinus, PLANTA MED, 65(4), 1999, pp. 347-350
Three new tazettine-type alkaloids were isolated from two different Galanth
us species of Turkish origin. (+)-isotazettinol and (+)-3-O-demethylmacroni
ne are obtained from G. gracilis, while (+)-3-O-demethyl-3-epimacronine is
found in G plicatus subsp. byzantinus. The known base, trispheridine, is re
ported for the first time in Galanthus genus.
