Abstract
The phytochemical study of Veratrum viride (Liliaceae) roots and rhizomes led to the isolation of 5 alkaloids reported for the first time in this species viz. veramarine [1], angeloylzygadenine [4] zygadenine [6], 15-O-methylbutyroylgermine [8], and 1a, 3s-dihydroxy 5a-jervanin-12-en-11-one [9]. The well known alkaloids veratramine [2], jervine [3], isorubijervine [5], germine [7], rubijervine [10], and pseudojervine [11] were also isolated in the course of this effort. The identification of all compounds was aided significantly by 2D-NMR spectral analyses.
