The pomegranate alkaloids, pelletierine (46) and pseudopelletierine (48) as well as minor accompanying bases, have a long history as salts of tannic acid as an anthelmintic mixture for intestinal pinworms (see Antiparasitic AGENTS, ANTHELMINTICS). The alkaloids themselves (as the taimates) are obtained from pomegranate tree (Punkagranatum L.) root bark and are among the few bases named after an individual (P. J. Pelletier) rather than a plant.

Thebaine, CjgHgiOgN. This base, which occurs in opium to the extent of 0-1 to 1 per cent., was first obtained by Pelletier and Thiboumery, who regarded it as isomeric with morphine, and named it paramorphine. It was examined by Kane, who first called it thebaine, and by Anderson, who described a method of isolation and provided the formula given above. It remains in the mother liquor after the removal of morphine and eodeine hydrochlorides in Gregory s process, and in Hesse s method of isolating it from this source is obtained as the acid tartrate. This is crystallised from hot water, and the alkaloid regenerated from it is reerystallised from dilute alcohol, from which it separates in leaflets, or from dry alcohol in prisms, m.p. 193°, — 218-6° (EtOH) or — 229-5°... 

The roots of Cephcelis Ipecacuanha (Brot) A. Rich constitute the Brazilian ipecacuanha of commerce and also that cultivated in the Federated Malay States, Bengal and Burma. Carthagena ipecacuanha is derived from Cephcelis acuminata Karsten collected in Colombia. Emetine, the principal alkaloid of this drug, was first obtained by Pelletier and Magendie in 1817, but was first prepared in a pure state by Paul and Cownley, who separated from commercial emetine the phenolic base, cephaeline, and later obtained a third alkaloid, psychotrine. To these Pyman added emetamine and 0-methylpsychotrine.

Brucine, C2aH2e04N2. Brucine was first obtained in 1819 by Pelletier and Caventou from Strychnos Nux-vomica bark, then supposed to be derived from Brucea ferruginea. Its composition was determined by Regnault.i ...
