Callosine, a 3-alkyl-substituted pyrrolizidine alkaloid from senecio callosus
Two collections of Senecio callosus from different regions of Mexico contained a structural diversity of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which may contribute to the easy adaptation of this species. In addition to some known compounds, two new PAs (1 and 2) were isolated, and their structures were established by chemical transformations and spectroscopic studies.
