Abstract: | The alkaloids imperialine, imperialone, peumisine, petiline, petilidine, and the new bases petisine (I) and petisinine (III) have been isolated from bulbs ofPetilium raddeana (Regl.) Vved. On the basis of spectral characteristics and passages to a known compound, the structure of 3β-hydroxy-Δ22(N)-22,26-iminocholestane-6,23-dione has been established for (I) and petisine 3β-glucopyranoside for (III). |
