1,2-Didehydro-3β,15-dimethoxyerythrinan Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Cocculus laurifolia yields this alkaloid which occurs primarily in the leaves. The structure has been shown to be that given above based upon chemical and spectroscopic evidence.
Occurrence
A constituent of the leaves of Cocculus laurifolius D.C., isococculidine is a major component of the alkaloidal extract. It furnishes colourless needles when crystallized from C6H6H6-hexane. The alkaloid is dextrorotatory with a specific rotation of [α]D + 124° (c 1.2, MeOH) and has been shown to possess neuromuscular blocking and hypotensive activities.
Definition
ChEBI: Isococculidine is an alkaloid.
