Abstract

Narcissus serotinus belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, a group well known for an exclusive variety of alkaloids with interesting biological activities. This study was aimed at identifying the alkaloid constituents of N. serotinus collected in the Spanish region of Valencia, using a combination of chromatographic, spectroscopic, and spectrometric methods, including GC-MS and 2D NMR techniques. GC-MS analysis allowed for the direct identification of five known compounds. In addition, the isolation and structure elucidation of six new Amaryllidaceae alkaloids are described.
