A CONVENIENT, RENEWABLE SOURCE OF THE ANXIOLYTIC PROAPORPHINE ALKALOID GLAZIOVINE: DUGUETIA VALLICOLA LEAVES

The leaves of Duguetia vallicola, a fairly common, large evergreen tree from the coastal regions of Panama, Colombia and Venezuela, contain (6aS)-glaziovine (1) as a major constituent. The abundance and renewable character of the plant material make it an attractive source for this rare, psychoactive alkaloid. The availability of glaziovine and its O-methyl derivative pronuciferine (2) has made complete ¹H and 13C NMR assignments of proaporphines possible for the first time
