ERYSOLIN

This alkaloid has been found in anum ber of Erythrina species. It forms colourless needles which have a somewhat indefinite melting point, softening over a wide range of temperature. The IS-methyl ether is identical with erythravine (q.v.).

Erysolin is a chemical shown to increase the amount of daunomycin and vinblastine in PANC-1 cells.
