title: Alkaloids and triterpenoids from Ammocharis coranica (Amaryllidaceae).
abstract: The bulbs of Ammocharis coranica yielded eight alkaloids: lycorine, acetylcaranine and crinamine, which have been reported previously from A. coranica, 1-O-acetyllycorine, hippadine, 6 alpha-hydroxypowelline and hamayne, which have been reported from other members of the Amaryllidaceae, 1-O-acetyl-9-O-demethylpuviine, which has not been described previously, and the known cycloartane compounds: 24-methylenecycloartan-3 beta-ol, cycloeucalenol, cycloeucalenone and also 24-methylenepollinastanone, which has not been described previously.
