Description
This furoquinoline alkaloid was first isolated from Platydesma campanulata Mann and subsequently found in Geijera salicifolia Schott. It crystallizes from C6H6-light petroleum in white needles and has [α]25D + 43° (CHCl3). The ultraviolet spectrum in EtOH contains several absorption maxima at 229.3, 238.1, 253.5,262.3,272,283,307.2 and 320.5 mJ.l. with a shoulder at 294.5 mil. The methiodide forms colourless plates from EtOH, m.p. 1 62-4°C and the picrate has m.p. 107-9°C after softening at 93°C. The optically inactive base, obtained as prisms from a mixture of MeOH and isopropyl ether, melts at 137 -SoC and gives a picrate melting over a very wide temperature range from 96-l22°C.
Definition
ChEBI: Platydesmine is an organonitrogen heterocyclic compound, an oxacycle and an organic heterotricyclic compound.
