Pyrrole alkaloids from Bolbostemma paniculatum

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2003 Sep;5(3):159-63. doi: 10.1080/1028602031000066861.

Abstract

Three pyrrole alkaloids were isolated from Bolbostemma paniculatum. Their structures were elucidated as 4-(2-formyl-5-methoxymethylpyrrol-1-yl)butyric acid methyl ester (1), 2-(2-formyl-5-methoxymethylpyrrol-1-yl)-3-phenylpropionic acid methyl ester (2) and alpha-methyl pyrrole ketone (3) by spectroscopic techniques. Among them, 1 and 2 are new compounds.
