Abstract
From the upper parts of SPIGELIA ANTHELMIA L. besides some widely distributed phenolcarboxylic acids and flavonoids two volatile alkaloids have been isolated and identified as isoquinoline and an iridoid compound of the actinidine type. In the water extract choline, benzoylcholine and 3,3-dimethyl-acryloylcholine could be identified. Preliminary pharmacological investigations revealed that the alkaloids are involved in the cardiotonic activity of the plant.
