Ruta chalapensis

Five acridone alkaloids were obtained previously from the bark of Teclea boiviniana cf. Vol. 6, p. 108) a recent investigation showed that the constituents of the leaves are similar, and resulted in the isolation of arborinine (37 R = H), tecleanthine (38 R = H, R = OMe), evoxanthine (38 R = R = H), 6-methoxytecleanthine (38 R = R = OMe), and 1,3,4-trimethoxy-iV-methyl-acridone (39 R = Me, R = OMe). The latter compound has not been obtained previously from a natural source. The n.m.r. and mass spectra indicated that the new alkaloid was a trimethoxy-iV-methylacridone and that ring A was unsubstituted. The three possible acridones had been synthesized earlier, and from melting-point data the alkaloid appeared to be the 1,3,4-trimethoxy-derivative this was confirmed by synthesis using a modification of the published procedures. 1,2,3-Trimethoxy-iV-methylacridone (37 R = Me), previously isolated from Evodia alata, has now been obtained from Melicope leratii. The known alkaloids melicopidine (40 R = Me, R = OMe) and xanthovedine (40 R = R = H) were also shown to be constituents of M. leratii. Arborinine (37 R = H) has been obtained from Vepris pilosa and from Ruta chalapensis. Other known acridone alkaloids isolated from a new source include the l-hydroxy-3-methoxy-deriva-tive (39 R = R = H) and its methyl ether (39 R = Me, R = H), from Vepris pilosa. ... [Pg.86]

Xanthotoxin occurs in the fruits of Fagara xanthoxyloides Lam [548], Ruta chalapensis [549] and in the berries of Luvanga scandeus [550]. Imperatorin was first isolated from the rhizomes of Imperatoria osthnitium L. [551] bergapten from bergamot oil [525]. [Pg.138]
