Tropane alkaloids from Erythroxylum genus: distribution and compilation of 13C-NMR spectral data

Chem Biodivers. 2010 Feb;7(2):302-26. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.200800290.

Abstract

Erythroxylum, the most representative genus of the Erythroxylaceae family, presents tropane alkaloids as main constituents. This class of compounds greatly contributes to the chemotaxonomic characterization of plants of this genus, and it has important medical uses and shows toxic effects. This review describes 186 tropane alkaloids in the 35 species of Erythroxylum distributed worldwide. In addition, a compilation of their (13)C-NMR spectral data is presented.
