On the Alkaloids contained in the Wood of the Bebeeru or Greenheart Tree (Nectandra Rodiœi, Schomb.)

  • Douglas Maclagan (a1) and Arthur Gamgee
Extract

When the wood of the bebeeru tree is subjected to a process similar to that recommended in the British Pharmacopœia for the separation of bebeerine from the bark, a mixture of several alkaloids is obtained.

In this memoir the authors specially describe the properties of one of these alkaloids, to which they have assigned the name Nectandria and the formula C20H23NO4. (Bebeerine, according to V. Planta, has the formula C18H21NO3). Nectandria is obtained by treating the mixed alkaloids obtained from the wood with chloroform, in which it is abundantly soluble.
