Studies on the Alkaloid from Polygala tenuifolia Willdenow

원지의 염기성성분에 관한 연구

A new alkaloid, named tenuidine was isolated from Polygala tenuifolia Willdenow. Its molecular formula corresponded to $C_{21}$ $H_{31}$ $O_{5}$ $N_{3}$ and its constants were m.p.256, [.alpha.]$_{D}$$^{18.5}$=1200.deg.(ethanol). Its infrared absorption spectra exhibited bands at 3.300, 1600, 1580, 1500 $cm^{-1}$ / confirming indole ring and at 2800-2700 $cm^{-1}$ / indicating quinoline ring. Bands at 1610, 1530 $cm^{-1}$ / indicated the presences of benzene ring and 1642$cm^{-1}$ / carbochelate.e.e.
