We have chosen to classify the new bases according to their sources and that often has led to homogeneous subsets. To gain concision, we have treated the similar structures of ficine, vochysine, and phyllospadine in the same section even though the Moraceae, Vochysiaceae, and Zosteraceae are unrelated. 

Although unrelated, these three families are the source of unique alkaloids that share common features. They are ficine (61) and isoficine (62) from Ficus pantoniana King (Moraceae) (107), vochysine (63) from the fruit of Vochysia guianensis (Aubl.) Poir. (Vochysiaceae) (108), and phyllospadine (64) from the seaweed Phyllospadix iwatensis Makino (Zosteraceae) (109).

Three species of cannabis. Reprinted with permission from Schultes RE, Hofman A. (1980). The Botany and Chemistry of Hallucinogens, 2nd ed. Springfield, III. Charles C Thomas Publishers, but later assigned to the Fig family (Moraceae) (Schultes and Flofmann 1992). Today it is classified in its own family, Cannabaceae, of which the Humulus genus (Flops) is also a member. Three species of cannabis are recognized C. indica, C. ruderalis, and C. sativa (figure 10.3).

Plants that can cause photodermatitis include carrots, celery, parsnip, dill, fennel, caraway, parsley, lovage, anise, and chervil among the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae, or carrot family), figs (Moraceae), and citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon, lime. 

The fermentation broth of an unidentified endophytic fungus isolated from plants growing in Hawaii has afforded microcarpalide I (59), an alkyl-substituted nonenolide that is weakly cytotoxic as a result of its ability to disrupt microfilaments. Extracts from the strain 112/13 collected from the bark oiFicus microcarpa L. (Moraceae) demonstrated a strong abrogation of microfilament activity. In A-10 rat smooth muscle cells, a 5 Xg/mL dose was able to induce a 50%—75% loss of actin filaments. Microcarpalide 1...

Cyclization resulting in furano-substitution is quite frequent between 7-OH and the neighboring 6 or 8-position of ring A. Most reports concentrate on Fabaceae and Moraceae, again from all parts of the plants, except external accumulation. The number of compounds known is smaller than that of the pyranoderivatives. Furano- substitution at ring B is rarely observed (e.g. epimedokoreanin A compound 178, Table 12.3 and in Figure 12.3) from Epimedium... 

Berberidaceae). This compound exhibits a more complex furano-substitution, similar to ciliatin A (Figure 12.3) and compound 8 (Figure 12.3) from species of Moraceae. Torosa-... 

This section comprises a series of flavones, mostly reported from genera of the Moraceae (Morns, Dorstenia, Artocarpus) and the Fabaceae (Derris, Tephrosia, Euchrestd). Very few reports exist on Vancouveria and Epimedium (Berberidaceae). In contrast to most of the other...
