As has been reported previously, alkaloids have been found in Astragalus tibetanus Beneth. (A. laxmanii Bge.). Smirnovine has been isolated as the carbonate from the epigeal parts collected in the flowering phase (8-11 August) in the Tien-Shan at a height of above 2000 m. The same substance has been found in the plants Smirnovia turkestana Bge. [3], Eremosparton flaccidium Litw., and Eremosparton aphyllum (Pall.) Fish, [4, 5].
