Piperoctadecalindine, a New Piperidine Alkaloid from Piper retrofractum Fruits

摘要

A chemical investigation of the fruits of Piper retrofractum (Piperaceae) has led to the isolation and characterization of a novel piperidine alkaloid, piperoctadecalidine together with three known alkaloids piperine, pipernonaline and guineensine. The structure of the new compound was detemined to be (2E,4E,14Z)-N-(2,4,14-Octadecatrienoyl) piperidine by spectral and synthetic methods.
