Alkaloids from cultivated plant of Peganum harmala L.

Abstract

Alkaloids such as 1H-cyclopenta(b) quinoline, 2.3.5.6.7.8-hexahydro-9-amino-; Vasicinone(1H-Pyrrоlo[2.1-b]quinazolin-9-one,3-hydroxy-2.3-dihydro) and harmine were isolated from cultivated plant of P. harmala. Four unknown alkaloids were isolated from P. harmala for the first time: 2.2.6.6-Tetramethyl-4-piperidone., Quinoline, 2.3.4-trimethyl-., Pyridine, 2-phenoxy-4- amino- and 4-(3-Propynyloxy)- quinazoline. Their structures were determined by GC-MS.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5564/mjc.v12i0.184 Mongolian Journal of Chemistry Vol.12 2011: 113-116
