Abstract

The lignoidic and alkaloidal content of the leaves, stem barks and root barks of H. guianensis has been studied; two aryltetrahydronaphthalenes, two dibenzylbutyrolactones and nine alkaloids are isolated. All components are identified by means of the spectral analysis. Eight alkaloids are aporphines and nor-aporphines.
