Reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography of some tryptamine derivatives.

A quantitative reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatographic method is described for tryptamine, bufotenine, N-methyltryptamine and N,N-dimethyl tryptamine. All compounds were eluted with base-line separation within 15 min. The method is used to determine the tryptamine level in a leaf extract of Acacia podalyriaefolia A. Cunn. Satisfactory recoveries of tryptamine from plant material, and N,N-dimethyltryptamine from urine were obtained.

Isolation and identification of three new flavones from Achillea millefolium L.

Column chromatography on silica gel of a petroleum ether extract of the flowering heads of Achillea millefolium L. allowed three flavones to be separated and identified. Spectral studies (PMR, mass spectrometry, and UV) and a comparison with data for compounds reported in the literature established the flavones as 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone, artemetin, and casticin. These compounds have not been reported previously as constituents of A. millefolium.

Alkaloid screening. VI.

One thousand and five plant extracts were screened for the presence of alkaloids. The number of positive tests obtained was 267, or 34.01%. New to the literature are 137 species. In the five previous communications (1-5) in this series we have reported on the screening of 4,990 plant extracts for alkaloids. These 4,990 extracts represented 4,103 species of plants, of which 1,069 gave positive tests.

Akaloid screening. VII.

One thousand and five plant extracts were screened for the presence of alkaloids. The number of positive tests obtained was 190, or 18.91%. There were 153 species found to contain alkaloids that are new to the literature. In the six previous communications (1-6) we have reported on the screening of 5,995 plant extracts for alkaloids. These extracts represented 4,888 species of plants, of which 1,336 gave positive alkaloid tests.
