Abstract
A phytochemical investigation of the stem of Chasmanthera dependens HOCHST led to the isolation and identification of five quaternary alkaloids: jatrorrhizine,
columbamine, pseudocolumbamine, magnoflorine and palmatine and nine tertiary non-phenolic
alkaloids: tetrahydropalmatine, liriodenine, lysicamine, oxoglaucine, glaucine, anonaine,
nornuciferine, norglaucine and O,O-dimethylcorytuberine.
