Abstract: | The roots ofDelphinium tamarae Kem. Nath., collected in the period of the withering of the epigeal part of the environs of the village Bakuriani (Georgian SSR) have yielded 2.02% of combined alkaloids. When the combined material was separated, methyllycaconitine, lycoctonine, and anthranoyllycoctonine were isolated, together with a new base having mp 286°C which has been called norsongoramine. The structure of norsongoramine has been shown on the basis of its spectral characteristics and conversion to songoramine.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
