Abrus precatorius L.

In the rosary pea Abrus precatorius L. Trigollenine as well as its gallic acid ester Precatorine (209) is found (71P195) (Scheme 69). 1-Carboxymethyl-nicotinic acid (210) was isolated as a colorless solid from the marine sponge Anthosigmella cf. raromicrosclera as a cysteine protease inhibitor (98JNP671). This compound was first synthesized in 1991. The sodium...

The decomposition of hypaphorine into indole and trimethylamine occurs slowly in the rotting wood of Abrus precatorius L., and is responsible for its fecal odor. It also led van Romburgh (30) to propose the correct structure for hypaphorine, which was soon established by synthesis from L-tryptophan (17).
