Abstract: | The dynamics of the accumulation of free amino acids and the main alkaloids have been determined, and 15 free amino acids have been detected and identified, 11 having been determined quantitatively. The amounts of the main alkaloids have also been determined. An interrelationship of the amino acid lysine with the alkaloids has been shown. The interconversion of pachycarpine into aphylline and aphyllidine with the formation of a lactam group has been demonstrated experimentally.V. I. Lenin Tashkent State University.
