The Cactus Alkaloids Nomenclature, Physical Properties, Pharmacology & Occurrences ““More than YOU need to know?” SACRED CACTI Fourth Edition Part C: Cactus Chemistry: Section 1 Trout’s Notes on The Cactus Alkaloids Nomenclature, Physical properties, Pharmacology & Occurrences Assembled by Keeper Trout & friends A Better Days Publication “More than you need to know?” C13-2013 PDF generated 3 December, 2013 updated to fix bad links Jan. 2018 Working Draft Version Still In-Editing & Proofing Trouts Notes on The Cactus Alkaloids Copyright ©2013, 2007 by MydriaticProductions Copyright ©1997, 1998, 2003 by Trout’s Notes & Mydriatic Productions (where applicable). Originally published in part as Appendix A to Sacred Cacti (first edition) in 1997 and again in 1998 as Trout’s Notes #C-9 Cactus Alkaloids, other than Mescaline; Reported from Mescaline Containing Cacti; (including Coryphantha alkaloids) Now retitled as“The Cactus Alkaloids” it has been expanded to encompass all of the known cactus alkaloids. It also now includes what formerly were several chapters concerning Mescaline in Sacred Cacti Part A. This illustrated version merges, updates, corrects and replaces all previous versions.

No one owns facts or factual data. Cactus Alkaloids This is an editing copy of a work that is ongoing. Much of this work is as complete as was possible for me in 2007. Acquiring and processing the references needed for its completion has continued to delay the planned release to such an unacceptably uncertain future date that it was deemed of value to make the in-proofing version available even though work is still actively ongoing. Despite the larger work Sacred Cacti now including more than 2900 references there is still a stack of hundreds more papers presently being processed and at least as many that are still being sought. By the time that a thorough treatment of Hylocereus and Opuntia is completed I anticipate that more than a thousand additional titles could be added on those two alone. Several more recent chapters from Sacred Cacti are also now included. Some of that is almost unchanged from the 2001 edition but many portions are either new or updated. The chapters on mescaline, its physical data, occurrences and pharmacology were moved to this book as it has always been an arbitrary call which work the mescaline entries best belonged and where to draw the lines. While they belong with the alkaloid entries their much greater size makes them a lumpy fit. Part A itself is now focused mainly on the plants and to a lesser degree on their politics. To simplify keeping track of references it was decided to create a master reference section for the work Sacred Cacti. That will be found in the pages of this book. Sacred Cacti Fourth Edition (revised yet again) [now online at sacredcacti.com] Part A The Mescaline Containing Cacti (Current PDF to come; much new material.) Part B San Pedro [3rd edition PDF version online] Part C Cactus Chemistry Section 1 The Cactus Alkaloids [4th edition PDF version online] Section 2 Cactus Chemistry By Species [4th edition PDF version online] Please let me know if you spot errors or know of additions or if you have suggestions on how to make this a better work. I also welcome any contributions of images; especially in habitat. Periodically this work will be replaced whenever progress merits it. When that occurs the index and table of contents pagination will shift and so may elements of the layout or any aspect of its imagery. When the new edition is completed, it will replace this PDF version online and hopefully see print.

IMPORTANTDISCLAIMER & CAUTIONARY STATEMENT TO READERS All information is contained strictly for informational and educational purposes and should not be construed as advocacy for anyone to violate state or federal laws. Depending on where a person lives, the following material contains techniques and procedures that might place one in direct violation of state and federal laws if they were put into practice. Mescaline and some similar substances are currently regarded as dangerous drugs. Despite a complete lack of human fatalities and a proven safety record in humans exceeding that of many com- monly prescribed & readily available over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, they are, in fact, at least potentially, quite dangerous substances. This is not due to their their pharmacological or toxic properties but rather is entirely the direct result of the potential actions that may arise from those who quixotically consider them to be dangerous and who are dedicated to MAKING them dangerous. These peoples’ extremely serious and ever-present threat of very real danger should never be underestimated. This is not a rational issue for them and no amount of logical persuation can be expected to sway their emotionally and/ or religiously based opinions. Failure to comply with state or federal laws can result in lengthy imprisonment, excessive fines, terroristic home invasions, deliberate terrorism of your family & friends, wanton destruction & vandalism of personal belongings, infliction of immense mental anguish on you & your loved ones, savage beatings & other physical injury, intimi- dation or harassment of friends or casual acquaintances or even the targeting of them for similar fates, attempted or successful sabotage of career or business reputation with malicious attacks upon and slanderous accusations against personal character being deceptively presented to employers, friends, family or business acquaintances with deliberate pejorative intent, deliberately brutal murder or injury of pets, eviction from rental properties and/or a complete loss of assets, checking & savings accounts, vehicles, computers, other possessions & real property, child custody, or even worse. You may even find yourself being shot in the middle of the night by automatic weapons carrying, night-vision goggled home-invaders as you are trying to put on your pants. There is no example mentioned above which has not already occurred in the efforts being directed against drug users. While seemingly unthinkable in any free and democratic society, this is currently the very serious state of reality produced by the current illegality of an increasing number of these substances and the existence of a well-funded and powerful modern-day Inquisition that is dedicated towards our eradication via a brutal reign of terror and violent suppression. Readers should operate under no illusions when reflecting upon the reality of this as yet another attempted state-sponsored social purge & cultural cleansing. The information contained in these pages is intended to better enable future research into this important and fascinating area of consciousness and science. We do not advocate the use of illicit —or for that matter, any— drugs by uninformed or underinformed individuals. However, we also recognize that many people will choose to use drugs whether they are informed or not. We do not intend to encourage or promote drug use. We do want those who are already determined to use these substances, regardless of current legal status, to be able do so in an informed, knowledgeable and responsible manner; whether this is planned as sacrament, ‘recreation’ or experimental material. Our hopes and intentions are that, through education and awareness, more informed choices can be made, thereby minimizing the risks often associated with substance use. It is with this in mind that we present the following. 4 Cactus Alkaloids The identifications of the species pictured in this work Unless we had questions which are noted or altered the are as accurate as possible. However, in some cases we name to come into line with other images of the same are not qualified to judge accuracy of the labels so in the species we present them as they were labeled. event of mislabeled plants grown from seed we could have inaccuracies.

This document has been prepared by Mr James Grogan under contract with the CITES Secretariat.1 2. Background information can be found in two key CITES documents: CoP15 Doc. 55, submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland, describes the issue under consideration in this report, whether certain genera of epiphytic cacti (seven as listed below) should be excluded from Appendix II based on the preponderance of artificially propagated compared to wild- collected specimens in international trade; IUCN Red List conservation status is reviewed, and trade data for gross exports of wild-collected specimens from range nations during 1975–2008 are presented; PC19 Doc. 14.1, prepared by the Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review with assistance from the Scientific Authority of Mexico, presents further analysis of trade data during 1998–2008 including the number of specimens of epiphytic cacti in trade that were artificially propagated, number of records and specimens that were wild collected, confiscated or seized, or of unknown origin during this period, and geographic ranges of species in question. Natural range, morphology & taxonomy of the epiphytic cacti 3. The Cactaceae are a New World family except for one species, the epiphytic Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa, Madagascar and as far east as Sri Lanka. Seven genera are considered here: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, Hatiora, Lepismium, PseudoRhipsalis, Rhipsalis, and Schlumbergera. 4. These genera are grouped in two tribes of the subfamily Cactoideae within the Cactaceae family: Hylocereeae: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, PseudoRhipsalis Rhipsalideae: Hatiora, Lepismium, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera 5.

In this work, the phytochemical profile of aerial and radicular parts of Coryphantha macromeris (Engelm.) Britton & Rose growing under greenhouse conditions was qualitatively investigated for the first time by means of modern ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS). The UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS analysis indicated a high complexity in phenolic metabolites. In our investigation, 69 compounds were detected and 60 of them were identified. Among detected compounds, several phenolic acids, phenolic glycosides, and organic acids were found. Within this diversity, 26 metabolites were exclusively detected in the aerial part, and 19 in the roots.

  • DESMODIUM ALKALOIDS PART IP CHEMICAL and PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION of D. GANGETICUM by S. Ghosal and S. K. Bhattacharya Introdu
    DESMODIUM ALKALOIDS PART IP CHEMICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF D. GANGETICUM By S. Ghosal and S. K. Bhattacharya Introduction The members of the genus Desmodiurn (Papilionaceae) are mostly shrubs, widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical habitats and particularly abundant in India. They are well known for their various medicinal uses in the Indian system of medicine (Chopra et al., 1956). Among about four dozen Desmodium species available in this country, chemical and pharmacological evaluation of D. pulchel- lurn Benth. ex Baker (Ghosal et al., 1971) and only preliminary chemical in- vestigation of the entitled species (Ghosal and Banerjee, 1969) have been re- ported so far. The medicinal uses of the plant extracts and the high alkaloid con- tent of the two aforementioned species prompted us to examine in detail the alka- loid content and pharmacological properties of the available Desmodium species. Such investigation would also serve to locate the active principles of the plants with respect to the reported medicinal uses of their crude extracts.The initial chemical investigation with D. gangeticum DC has now been complemented by detail chemical and pharmacological evaluation of the species at different stages of its development. The results are reported in this paper. Experimental The general procedure for the separation and identification of the CHCla-soluble alkaloids involved gradient-pH extraction from aqueous AcOH solution; column chromatographic reso· lution over Brockman neutral alumina; paper chromatography (Whatrna~ 3MM papers) anc TLC (silica gel G, E. Merck) of the eluates from column chromatorgaphic runs in presence 0 markers (Ghosal and Mukherjee, 1966; Ghosal et aI., 1971a); preparation of picrate hydrochloride, and methiodide where possible; and determination of UV, IR, NMR and mas spectra of the single entities.

UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.
