Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Nov 15;9(22):3249-54. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00569-7.

Abstract

After the isolation of caracasanamide and caracasandiamide, further hypotensive components of Verbesina caracasana were shown to be N3-prenylagmatine, N1-3',4'-dimethoxycinnamoylagmatine, agmatine and galegin (prenylguanidine). The structures were assigned on the basis of the spectral data of both metabolites and products from their alkaline hydrolyses. A pharmacological analysis of these products is also presented.
