Abstract
From the dried roots of Cephaelis acuminata, five ipecac alkaloids, neocephaeline, 7'-O-demethylcephaeline, 10-O-demethylcephaeline, 2'-N-(1-deoxy-1-beta-D-fructopyranosyl)cephaeline and 2'-N-(1-deoxy-1-beta-D-fructopyranosyl)neocephaeline, were isolated, along with emetine, cephaeline, psychotrine, protoemetine, 9-demethylprotoemetinol and isocephaeline. Structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical means.
