Quinolizidine alkaloids plant origin

Keeler, R.F. 1989. Quinolizidine alkaloids in range and grain lupins, in Cheeke, P.R., Ed., Toxicants of plant origin, Vol. I Alkaloids, CRC Press, Boca Raton, pp. 133-168. 

Indole and isoquinoline alkaloids continue to play a dominant role. The apor-phinoids, comprising proaporphines, aporphines and related dimers, are treated separately, partly in order to reduce the burden on contributors aristolactams and aristolochic acids, which have not been reviewed since 1961, also are discussed in this chapter. This year the quinolizidine alkaloids, including the sesquiterpenoid Nuphar bases and the appropriate Lythraceae alkaloids, as well as azaphenalenes of plant and insect origin are reviewed together. Amaryllidaceae, Erythrina, imidazole, purine and peptide alkaloids are omitted from this volume, but it is expected that the chemistry of these groups covering the period 1974—1976 will be surveyed in Volume 7.
