Picea breweriana

A-Methylsedridine (168) was recently isolated, along with A-methylpelletierine (170) and euphococcinine (332), from a spruce, Picea breweriana [441]. 

N-Methylpelletierine was recently isolated from the spruce Picea breweriana [441] and both 169 and 170 were isolated from the bark of Punica granatum [440]. In a synthesis of 170, the side chain was introduced by alkynylation of an 5-methylthioamidium salt generated from N-methylpiperidine-2-thione [444],... 

Occurrence in Non-solanaceous/Non-convolvulaceous Taxa. Later it was reported that hygrine and/or closely related derivatives are also constituents of different unrelated families found throughout the plant kingdom. Such sporadic occurrence was discovered - besides the Erythroxylaceae (see above) - for certain Sedum spp. (Crassulaceae) (Stevens et al. 1992 Kim et al. 1996), Carallia brachiata (Lour.) Merr. (Rhizophoraceae), Cochlearia arctica Slecht (Brassicaceae), as well as for Dendrobium chrysanthum Wall. (Orchidaceae) (Massiot and Delaude 1986 and references therein) and Picea breweriana S.Watson, Pinaceae (Schneider et al. 1995).
