Picralima klaineana

ALKALOIDS OF PICRALIMA KLAINEANA This Apocynaceous species is widely but sparsely distributed in tropical Africa, wh re the seeds enjoy an undeserved reputation as a specific for malaria. The drug is rich in alkaloids of which nine have been isolated and characterised. ... [Pg.759]

The alkaloids discussed in the succeeding paragraphs occur in the seeds of Picralima nitida Th. and H. Durand (syn. P. klaineana Pierre), which is widely but sparsely distributed throughout tropical Africa. The seeds of this plant are used by the West African natives as a specific for malaria, and as an antipyretic (1, 2). The first chemical examination of Picralima was conducted by Clinquart, who obtained a crystalline alkaloid, mp 242°-243°, and a second, amorphous base (3, 4). Various color reactions of these specimens were described, but beyond this no attempts were made to characterize them completely. The alkaloids were shown to occur chiefly in the seeds, but they are also present in the leaves and bark (3, 4). [Pg.119]
