Alkaloids from the roots of Senecio macedonicus Griseb

Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2002 Sep-Oct;57(9-10):780-4. doi: 10.1515/znc-2002-9-1004.

Abstract

The new alkaloids 7-,9-diangeloylplatynecine (1) and 8-episarracine N-oxide (2), were isolated and identified from the roots of Senecio macedonicus. Another one, 8-epineosarracine was detected by GC/MS analyses of the crude alkaloid mixture. The cytotoxicity and biological activity of the alkaloids were tested on normal murine spleen lymphocytes and P3U1 mouse myeloma.
