Abstract

The aerial parts of Androcymbium melanthioides yielded known alkaloids cornigerine, colchicine, N-formyl-N-deacetylcolchicine, 2-demethylcolchicine, 3-demethylcolchicine, demecolcine, 2-demethyldemecolcine, 3-demethyldemecolcine, β-lumicornigerine, β-lumicolchicine, γ-lumicolchicine, androcymbine, O-methylandrocymbine, and melanthioidine. Of these, O-methylandrocymbine and β-lumicornigerine are reported for the first, time. The alkaloid, formerly designated as compound AM-3, has been identified as N-deacetyl-N-dimethyl-γ-lumicornigerine 1. Its spectral data are given.
