The roots of Delphinium tamarae Kem. Nath., collected in the period of the withering of the epigeal part of the environs of the village Bakuriani (Georgian SSR) have yielded 2.02% of combined alkaloids. When the combined material was separated, methyllycaconitine, lycoctonine, and anthranoyllycoctonine were isolated, together with a new base having mp 286°C which has been called norsongoramine. The structure of norsongoramine has been shown on the basis of its spectral characteristics and conversion to songoramine. © 1981 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
