Structurally diverse alkaloids from Tecomella undulata G. Don flowers

The present study is aimed to focus on the extraction and screening of alkaloids from the flowers of tecomella undulata g. don. it has been observed that the plant is very rich in alkaloids and the modified method employed for the extraction of alkaloids is efficient and selective,where the interference of other secondary metabolites is negligible. the identification of each compound was made through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). a total of eleven (11) structurally diverse alkaloids were identified for the first time from the flowers of this plant. the present study may be helpful in the fields of natural products' chemistry and pharmaceuticals as well as drug discovery science and technology. © 2014 .
