A pregnene alkaloid found in the bark of Holarrhena antidysenterica Wall. and
also present in the leaves of Sarcococca pruni!ormis Lindl., the base forms colour_x0002_less crystals from Me2CO and has [α]20D - 37° (c 1.90, CHCl3), - 17° (c 1.OS,
MeOH). It contains three methyl groups and two dimethylamino groups in the
molecule. The alkaloid is characterized as the crystalline perchlorate, m.p. 277-
9°C (dec.) or the picrate, m.p. 228-230°C. The structure has been established as
3 ,20 -bis (dimethylamino)pregn-S-ene. It is identical with saracodinine. | [Definition]
