An Unusual Pentacyclic Dinitrogenous Alkaloid from Galanthus gracilis

A minor alkaloid, namely gracilamine, was isolated from Galanthus gracilis. This was the first example of a pentacyclic dinitrogenous alkaloid isolated from a member of Amaryllidaceae. The structure of this alkaloid was elucidated by means of comprehensive spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, MS, UV, IR).
