Compounds isolated from different members of the Amaryllidaceae family are becoming relevant options for the treatment of neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, species of the Hippeastrum genus are important source of alkaloids with a wide profile of putative
The stereochemistry of pancracine, from HIPPEASTRUM VITTATUM, has been fully characterized as free base and as its O, O-di-acetate by means of spectroscopic analyses and CD-data. Carbon magnetic resonance data provide a simple tool in differentiating the contained montanine skeleton from other
Two new alkaloids, 4-O-methylnangustine (1) and 7-hydroxyclivonine (2) (montanine and homolycorine types, respectively), and four known alkaloids were isolated from the bulbs of Hippeastrum argentinum, and their cholinesterase-inhibitory activities were evaluated. These compounds were identified
The dichloromethane and n-butanol extracts obtained from fresh bulbs of Hippeastrum vittatum (Amaryllidaceae), collected in Southern Brazil, were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity in vitro against five human cell lines (HT29 colon adenocarcinoma, H460 non-small cell lung carcinoma, RXF393 renal
The treatment of neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases is related to the levels of acetylcholine (ACh) through the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Galanthamine, an important alkaloid isolated from the Amaryllidaceae family, is approved for the pharmacological treatment of
