Two New Alkaloids of Capsicum annuum var. fasciculatum

Abstract

Two new alkaloids, 2-(2′,4′-dimethylpyridin-1′-ium-1′-yl)-3-phenylpropanoate (1) and 2-(2′,4′-dimethylpyridin-1′-ium-1′-yl)-3-(4″-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (2), along with six known compounds (3–8), were isolated from the roots of Capsicum annuum L. var. fasciculatum (Sturt.) Irish (Solanaceae). The structures of these two new alkaloids were elucidated by physical evidence.
