Piperidenol and monoterpene alkaloids have been isolated from Cassia species (1-7). This paper deals with the isolation and structure elucidation of two new alkaloids from the leaves of Cassia siamea Lam. Four fluorescing and DragendorfFs-positive spots were seen on a tic chromatogram of the concentrated and processed alkaloid extract of the leaves. Preparative tic resulted in the isolation of the four weakly-basic alkaloids that gave precipitates with Mayer's reagent. One of them, present only in small amounts, was identified by co-chromatography, mp, mmp, and ir spectra as the known isoquinolone siamine (1) (8).The other three alkaloids were named siaminine A, B, and C. They showed from five to seven maxima in the uv spectra in the range from 230 to 355 nm, indicating a complex pattern of a highly conjugated chromophore. The ir spectra showed intense peaks at 3000-3050 cm-1 assigned to the associated N-H stretching vibration of a lactam; while a peak at 1635 cm 1 was consistent with the presence of a -lactam carbonyl. The latter was clearly significant at miz 43 in the mass spectra. Another peak in the ir at 840 cm-1 was assigned to the NH group, which was confirmed by the presence of a broad singlet in the pmr at 11.2
