1,2-Didehydro-3β,15-dimethoxyerythrinan Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden

• Beschreibung

  Cocculus laurifolia yields this alkaloid which occurs primarily in the leaves. The structure has been shown to be that given above based upon chemical and spectroscopic evidence.

• Occurrence

  A constituent of the leaves of Cocculus laurifolius D.C., isococculidine is a major component of the alkaloidal extract. It furnishes colourless needles when crystallized from C6H6H6-hexane. The alkaloid is dextrorotatory with a specific rotation of [α]D + 124° (c 1.2, MeOH) and has been shown to possess neuromuscular blocking and hypotensive activities.

• Definition

  ChEBI: Isococculidine is an alkaloid.
