Kinghom, A.D. and Balandrin, M.F. (1984). Quinolizidine alkaloids of the Leguminosae Structural types, analysis, chemotaxonomy and biological activities, in Pelletier, S.W., Ed., Alkaloids chemical and biological perspectives, John Wiley and Sons, New York, pp. 105-148. 

Ammodendrine (258) has been isolated from a number of plant genera, usually in the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids [592], Its presence, sometimes accompanied by related alkaloids such as A -methylammodendrine (259), A -acetylhystrine (262) and smipine (264) can be useful in chemotaxonomy [593], The root parasite Viscum cruciatum was found to take up 258, along with quinolizidine alkloids from its host Relama sphaerocarpa [594],...
