Abstract: | A new alkaloid which has been called terdeline has been isolated from the epigeal part ofDelphinium ternatum. Its structure has been demonstrated on the basis of spectral characteristics and the preparation of a demethylene derivative, and also by direct passage from eldelidine to terdeline.Abu Ali Ibn Sina Avicenna] Tadzhik State Medical Institute, Dushanbe.
