M. Shibano et al., Two new pyrrolidine alkaloids, radicamines A and B, as inhibitors of alpha-glucosidase from Lobelia chinensis Lour., CHEM PHARM, 49(10), 2001, pp. 1362-1365
Two new pyrrolidine alkaloids, radicamines A and B were isolated as inhibit
ors of alpha -glucosidase from Lobelia chinensis LOUR. (Campanulaceae). Rad
icamines A and B were formulated as (2S,3S,4S,5S)-2-hydroxymethyl-3,4-dihyd
roxy-5-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrrolidine (1) and (2S,3S,4S,5S)-2-hydr
oxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-pyrrolidine (2) on the basis of
spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods.
