A study of the diterpene alkaloids of Aconitum napellus ssp. neomontanum During its onthogenetic cycle

Abstract

Qualitative and quantitative variations in the diterpene alkaloids content in the neomontanum subspecies of Aconitum napellus, growing near lake of Como, were studied throughout its complete onthogenetic cycle. Aconitine, N-deethylaconitine and two compounds with m.w.- 688 and m.w. = 629 have been detected in the various organs of plant almost at any time during the vegetative cycle.
