The structures of eleven
alkaloids isolated from Darlingia darlingiana
(F. Muell.) L. A. S. Johnson, a Queensland
proteaceous tree, have been determined. They comprise a tropene, two pyranotropanes, and eight pyrrolidine
alkaloids.
Darlingia ferruginea J. F. Bailey
contains the new tropane alkaloids ferrugine (2) and 3α-benzoyloxy-2α-hydroxybenzyltropane
(4) as well as darlingine (1) and ferruginine (3),
which also occur in D. darlingiana.
The Tasmanian endemic
proteaceous plant Agastachys odorata
contains the known alkaloid (-)-6β-acetoxy-3α-tigloyloxytropane,
and 3α-(p-hydroxybenzoyloxy)trop-6-ene,
the first naturally occurring tropene base.
Fourteen alkaloids have
been isolated from Bellendena montana,
a monotypic proteaceous plant endemic in Tasmania. The structures of ten of
these, bellendine (1), isobellendine (2), darlingine (3),5,11-dihydroisobellendine
(5), 2,3-dihydrobellendine (6), 2,3-epidihydrobellendine (7),
2,3-dihydrodarlingine(8), 3α-acetoxy-6β-isobutoxytropane (9), 6β-acetoxy-3α-isobutoxytropane
(10) and 3α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxytropane
(11), have been established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
