Dihydroxynortropane alkaloids from calystegine-producing plants

Phytochemistry. 2001 Jul;57(5):721-6. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00131-5.

Abstract

Three dihydroxynortropanes, 2alpha,7beta-dihydroxynortropane, 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxynortropane, and 3alpha,7beta-dihydroxynortropane, were isolated from calystegine-producing plants in the families Convolvulaceae and Solanaceae. 2alpha,7beta-Dihydroxynortropane was isolated from six species in the Convolvulaceae whereas only Calystegia soldanella contained it and 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxynortropane. Although neither of these were detectable in three species tested in the Solanaceae, 3alpha,7beta-dihydroxynortropane was, however, isolated from Duboisia leichhardtii.
