Organ-to-organ and seasonal variations of alkaloids from Crinum moorei
EE Elgorashi, SE Drewes, J van Staden
Abstract
Dilute HCl extraction followed by gas chromatography were used to determine
the distribution and seasonal variation of alkaloids in Crinum moorei. Significant
organ-to-organ variations were detected for the individual alkaloids crinine,
lycorine, powelline, undulatine, crinamidine, 1-O-acetyllycorine, 1-epideacetylbowdensine
and 3-O-acetylhamayne. Alkaloids which showed significant seasonal variations
were lycorine, crinine and undulatine.
