title: Alkaloids of Datura ceratocaula.
abstract: Thirty-six alkaloids were identified in the organs of Datura ceratocaula by GC/MS. Thirty-three of them have not been previously reported for the species. Furthermore, a new tropane ester was tentatively identified as 3-(3'-formyloxytropoyloxy)tropane on basis of its mass spectral fragmentation. Hyoscyamine was the main alkaloid in the plant organs.
