Abstract
A phytochemical study on the seeds of Peganum harmala led to the separation of 22 alkaloids, including quinazoline alkaloids (1–10), β-carboline alkaloids (11–18), and others alkaloids (19–22). Their structures were identified by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with literature data. Compounds 14 and 20–22 were first isolated from Zygophyllaceae family. Compounds 8 and 15 were firstly discovered as natural products. Moreover, the chemotaxonomic significance of the isolated alkaloids is discussed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
