International Journal of Pharmacognosy

Abstract

The phytochemical study of Veratrum viride (Liliaceae) roots and rhizomes led to the isolation of 5 alkaloids reported for the first time in this species viz. veramarine (1), angeloylzygadenine (4) zygadenine (6), 15-O-methylbutyroylgermine (8), and 1-alpha, 3-beta-dihydroxy 5-alpha-jervanin-12-en-11-one (9). The well known alkaloids veratramine (2), jervine (3), isorubijervine (5), germine (7), rubijervine (10), and pseudojervine (11) were also isolated in the course of this effort. The identification of all compounds was aided significantly by 2D-NMR spectral analyses.
