Coccinelline.—Coccinelline (16) is an alkaloid isolated from the defensive secretion of the Coccinellidae. [l- C]Acetate has been found to be incorporated into this arthropod alkaloid with 16% of the activity confined to C-2 plus C-10. This is consistent with derivation via the polyketide (17) (or the alternative with the carboxy-group at what becomes C-10 of coccinelline). 

Amphibian skin as a remarkable source of biologically active arthropod alkaloids 03JMC445. 

From the point of view of biological activity, it is possible to divide alkaloids into (1) neutral or weakly basic molecules (e.g., lactams such as rici-nine, certain N-oxides such as indicine), (2) animal-derived alkaloids (e.g., anuran, mammalian and arthropod alkaloids), (3) marine alkaloids, (4) moss alkaloids, (5) fungal and bacterial alkaloids, and (6) nonnatural alkaloids (structurally modified or analogues).
