title: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids from Cynoglossum creticum. Synthesis of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids echinatine, rinderine, and analogues.
abstract: Reinvestigation of Cynoglossum creticum led to the isolation of the previously reported echinatine [1] and heliosupine [2] as well as rinderine [3], 7-angelylheliotridine [4] and a new alkaloid, cynoglossamine [5]. The structures have been determined by spectral means (ir, ms, 1H-13C HETCOR nmr), comparison with literature data and authentic samples, and/or syntheses. In addition, 1 and all three of its isomers 3, 6, and 7 and other semisynthetic analogues (8-13) were prepared and characterized.
