Abstract

From the aerial parts of Phyllanthus niruri L. (Euphorbiaceae) plant two alkaloids 4-methoxy-securinine (phyllanthine) (1) and 4-methoxy-nor-securinine (2) have been isolated and their structures elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The former alkaloid is isolated for the first time from this plant and the latter is a new alkaloid.
