Detection of polyhydroxyalkaloids in Lonchocarpus extracts by GC-MS of acetylated derivatives

The methanol extracts of the roots of Lonchocarpus cultratus, L. latifolius and L. subglaucescens, species native to Brazil, were all active in the brine shrimp lethality test. Fractions rich in polyhydroxylated alkaloids were obtained from these extracts and, following acetylation, were analysed by...
