Description
A further Corydalis alkaloid, coramine has been obtained from C. pseudoadunca
M. Pop. It forms colourless needles from EtOH and is optically active with a
specific rotation of [α]D - 391 ° (c 0.2, MeOH). Both the hydrochloride, m.p.
216-9°C and the hydrobromide, m.p. 223-6°C have been described.
Chemical Properties
clear colorless to yellow liquid
Application
N,N-Diethylnicotinamide (DENA) is one of the central respiratory stimulants and is used in the study of respiratory failure. DENA is also an excellent hydrophilic agent for paclitaxel (PTX) and improves the water solubility of PTX.
Definition
ChEBI: Nikethamide is a pyridinecarboxamide. It is functionally related to a nicotinamide.
