Three turned out to be the previoulsy described senecinine, senkirkine and retrorsine. Spectroscopic investigations showed the structure of the fourth compound to be 5–hydroxy–3,4–dimethyl–hex–1–en–2,5–dicarbonyl–retronecine (senecivernine). Using gaschromatography the quantitative ratio of the 4 alcaloids in S. vernalis was measured. Key Word Index Senecio vernalis - Asteraceae - Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids - Senecivernine PDF (491 kb)
