A new crystalline phenolic alkaloid, Ankorine, m.p. 174–176°, has been isolated from the leaves of Alangium lamarckii Thwaites. Several salts of the alkaloid have been prepared; the alkaloid has been assigned the molecular formula, C19H29O4N, with two OCH3 groups, one phenolic OH group and possibly one furan ring.
