Antibacterial alkaloids in crinum jagus

Pharmaceutical Biology, Volume 30, No. 4, Year 1992

Activity-directed fractionation of a Crinum jagus methanol extract used in traditional medicine as an antibacterial agent gave four alkaloids, lycorine, hamayne, crinamine and 6-hydroxycrinamine. Only crinamine showed strong antibacterial activity. Neither the extracts nor the alkaloids possess any antifungal activity. © 1992 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
