Annona hypoglauca Mart. was collected in the flooded areas of the Amazonian Forest near Manaus (Brazil). The alkaloids were obtained from the stems crude extract by acid-base partitioning and the remaining alkaloid-free extract was partitioned with organic solvents of different polarity. The GC/MS analysis of the total alkaloids allowed the identification of seven aporphine alkaloids (actinophanine, anonaine, glaucine, isoboldine, isodomesticine, nornuciferine and roemerine) and possibly two proberberine alkaloids (scoulerine and caseadine). The total alkaloids were fractionated by column chromatography and further purified by preparative thin-layer chromatography allowing the isolation of two aporphine alkaloids: actinodaphnine and isoboldine. The structures of these natural products were defined based on their spectral data, including 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR,
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.
