Substantial progress has been made since 1975 in the field of aporphinoids (aporphine alkaloids sensu lato). About sixty new alkaloids have been found. Among the 182 compounds known at this time, the structures of some alkaloids were revised, additional physical and spectral data became available for others, especially through 13C NMR spectroscopy, while a great number of alreadydescribed substances were isolated from new sources. © 1979, American Chemical Society.
