From S. nemorensis L., var. subdecurrens GRISEB. there were isolated the previously obtained alkaloids nemorensine (I), retroisosenine (II), bulgarsenine (III) and, in addition, the alkaloid oxynemorensine which was assigned the structure VIII on the basis of the interpretation of the 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectra, and on that of the identification of the products of hydrolysis and reduction. Furthermore, the isolation of the cis-nemorensic acid (V) as well as that of the unsaturated acid IV, and the transformation of bulgarsenine (III) to nemorensine (I) were described.
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.
