Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 2014 , 50 (3) :576-577. | Acylation of Convolvine by Anhydrides of Mono- and Dicarboxylic Acids[Reference: WebLink] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
The alkaloid contents of Convolvulus subhirsutus and C. pseudocanthabrica growing in various regions of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tadzhikistan were previously investigated and were found to include ~10 tropane alkaloids [ 1 , 2 ]. The alkaloid composition and content depended on the habitat. Thus, total alkaloids in C. subhirsutus growing in Uzbekistan was 0.6–0.75% (aerial part) and 0.6–1.6% (roots) [ 2 , 3 ]; in Tadzhikistan, 0.12%(aerial part) [ 4 ]. The main alkaloids in all plants were nortropine derivatives convolvine ( 1 , 3,4-dimethoxybenzoyloxynortropane) and Convolamine (3,4-dimethoxybenzoyloxytropane), which amounted to 40–50% of the total. The alkylation and acylation of the NH group in 1 were studied [ 3 ].
CONCLUSIONS:
Preliminary tests showed that the synthesized compounds included some with pronounced antihypoxic, immunomodulating, and anti-inflammatory activity. |
