547.944/945Elasine, methyUycaconitine, lycoctonine, and the new alkaloid delretine have been isolated from the plant Delphinium retropilosum, and the structure of delretine has been determined.Representatives of the genus Delphinium L., which produce diterpene alkaloids, belong to some of the most valuable alkaloid-bearing plants of the Ranunculaceae family [1]. Alkaloids isolated from these plants have been described in a large number of publications [2], but many species of this genus have not hitherto been investigated. Such plants include Delphinium retropilosum L. In the literature available to us there is no information on the chemical composition of this plant and its use in folk medicine [3].Delphinium retropilosum, a plant 65-85 cm tall, is found in Western and Eastern Siberia [4]. We have investigated the
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.
