The family of Lycopodiaceae contains three genera of clubmoss, Huperzia, Lycopodium, and Lycopodiella. [Pg.2174]

Lycopodium serratum (clubmoss, Jin bu huan) has been used in Chinese medicine for more than 1000 years. It contains the alkaloid serratidine and triterpenoids, such as oxolycoclavinol, oxoserratenetriol, tohogeninol, and tohogenol. [Pg.2174]

Clubmosses (Lycopodiatae or Lycopodiophytina). A class of the Pteridophyta ( pteridophytes ferns) with three recent orders Lycopodiales lycopods), Selagi-nellales selaginella), and Isoetales quillworts), with one family each. The exclusively herbaceous plants have small or narrow to scale-like leaves (=micro-phy 11a). They were particularly highly developed in the Carboniferous period (see pteridophytes ferns (Fili-catae)). [Pg.142]

Mr 242.36, mp. 118 °C, [ajp- lO fCjHjOH). A Lycopodium alkaloid of the Ci Nj type from several clubmoss species (Lycopodiaceae). [Pg.370]

Lycopodine. Formula see Lycopodium alkaloids. CifiHjjNO, Mr 247.38, mp. 116°C, [d -24.5° (C2H5OH). A Lycopodium alkaloid of the C. N type from many club moss species (Lycopodiaceae). It is the most widely distributed Lycopodium alkaloid and usually occurs as the major alkaloid. It was first isolated over 100 years ago from a clubmoss species. L. is toxic and exerts a curare-like paralysing activity. Several syntheses have been reported. ... [Pg.370]

Components The phytochemistry of the individual classes varies enormously [for components of the clubmosses and horse tails, see the appropriate entries]. The true ferns (Filicatae) contain saccharose as the main carbohydrate. Large amounts of C2o-poly-enoic acids, see also arachidonic acid, and fatty acids with 21 - 30 C atoms are found among the lipids. Ferns produce a great variety of secondary products such as procyanidins, condensed tannins, flavan derivatives, benzoic and cinnamic acid derivatives, acylphloroglucinols, cyanogenic glycosides, pter-osins, di- and triterpenes as well as phytoecdysone (see ecdysteroids). Alkaloids have not yet been detected. [Pg.525]

CijHijO, Mr 316.27, mp. 320-325 C, yellow cryst., soluble in 80% acetone, DMF, DMSO, practically insoluble in water. 5,7,3, 4 -Tetrahydroxy-5 -methoxyfla-vone (tricetin 3 -methyl ether), first isolated from a clubmoss species and designated as selagin, a name already assigned to a clubmoss alkaloid, (later renamed as S. ). S. is also found in liverworts, other members of the Lycopodiatae, and higher plants. S. exists in the plants as the O- or C-glycosides. [Pg.579]

Pteridophyta In traditional classification systems, a division of the plant kingdom that included ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses, i.e. the nonseed-bearing tracheophytes. These are now classified as separate phyia Filicinophyta (ferns), Sphenophyta (horsetails), and Lycophyta (clubmosses). [Pg.670]

While for developing of simple piperidine alkaloids, e.g., pelletierine (Punica granatum), piperine (Piper nigrum et longum), and lobeline (Lobelia inflata), only one molecule of lysine is necessary, for quinolizidine alkaloids - e.g., lupinine (Lupinus luteus), sparteine of antiarrhythmic activity (Sarothamnus scoparius), and cytisine of respiratory stimulant effect (Laburnum species) - two molecules of lysines are indispensable. It was also proved that lycopodine (Lycopodium tristachyum, clubmoss) of quinolizidine structure has no polyketide origin, but it is a modified dimer of pelletierine, which, in turn, is derivable from lysine and acetate. [Pg.304]

Common/vernacular names Common horsetail, field horsetail, running clubmoss, shen-jincao (E. arvensef, rough horsetail, common scouring rush, and muzei (E. hymale). [Pg.367]

In terms of chemotaxonomy, very little work has been earned out on the chemical constituents of the Filicopsida (ferns), Lycopsida (clubmosses), Psilotopsida and Equisetopsida (horsetails), although it is reported that they contain lignin (32). In each case these conclusions were based upon preliminary results from nitrobenzene oxidations, e.g., it was reported that lignins of the Cyatheaceae (i.e., Dicksonia squarrosa, Cibotium harometz and Cyathea arborea) and Adiantaceae (i.e., Pteris podophylla) families were mainly derived from p-coumaryl 7 and coniferyl 12 alcohols, whereas in the... [Pg.219]

Pteridophytes. Evolution of the biochemical pathway to the lignins proper apparently first occurred with the appearance of the pteridophytes, the earliest remains of which to date come from the Devonian period (27). In extant plants, lignins are seemingly present in the ferns (Filicopsida), clubmosses (Lycopsida), horsetails (Equisetopsida), and the Psilotopsida [see... [Pg.140]
