Isolation of oxoaphorpine alkaloid from bark of Cryptocarya ferrea

Abstract

Extraction, isolation, identification and characterization of the compounds isolated from the bark of Cryptocarya ferrea yielded three known oxoaphorpine alkaloids. They are o-metilmoschatoline 1, ateroline 2 and subsesiline 3. Structural elucidation was established through spectroscopic methods 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR, UV, IR, and Mass Spectrometry and comparison with the published data.
