Abstract
Boophone disticha is widely used in South African traditional medicine. Several of its biological properties can be corroborated via its alkaloid constituents. Previous research on this plant led to the isolation of several alkaloids, mainly of the crinane alkaloid group of the Amaryllidaceae. In the present study, one new compound 1- O-acetylbuphanamine (1) and four known crinane alkaloids were isolated chromatographically from the ethanol extract of the bulbs of B. disticha. Their structures were determined via spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS, HRMS and IR data.
