Isolation and Identification of New Alkaloids from Purslane (Portulacaoleracea L.)Leaves Using HPLC/ESI-MS

Abstract

Purslane (Portulacaoleracea L.) leaves are well-known traditional Kurdish favorite foods. In the present study, from Purslane leaves ten alkaloids were extracted, isolated and Identified for the first time, By using HPLC/ESI-MS. The identified alkaloids were; Nandigerine(1), Reticuline(2), (R)-3,4-Dehydromagnocurarine(3), itingensine(4), (S)-Tembetarine(5), Homolycorine(6), Angustureine (7), Cyclobullatine-A (8), 10-(5-p-coumaroyl-6-methylpiperidin-2-yl) dodecan-2-one(9) and 10-(5-p-coumaroyl-6-methylpiperidin-2-yl)tetradecan-2-one(10).
