Abstract
A new alkaloid (3) was isolated from the stems of Maackia tashiroi (Leguminosae), together with (-)-camoensidine, tashiromine, ammodendrine and six known lupin (quinolizidine) alkaloids. The structure of 3 was characterized as the N15-oxide of (-)-camoensidine, possessing an indolizidine-quinolizidine ring system, by a combination of spectroscopic and chemical methods.
