Alkaloids from rhamnaceae-XXVI. Nummularine -D, -E and -F, new cyclopeptide alkaloids from Zizyphus nummularia

Tetrahedron, Volume 31, No. 23, Year 1975

From the benzene extract of the root bark of Zizyphus nummularia three new peptide alkaloids have been isolated: nummularine-D 1, -E 3 and -F 5. All three contain the 14-membered ring system. Nummularine-D is N-desmethyl-integerrenine. Nummularine-E has N,N-dimethylthreonine and nummularine-F has N,N-dimethylglycine as terminal amino-acid, neither of which has been found in such alkaloids before. © 1975.
