sascacheuan Posted July 5, 2003 The structure of securinin: http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/fb/fb96/pl7.gif This alkaloid is contained in several species from de genere securinega( = fluggea). It is suspect to be a mild estimulant( i cant remenber where i have read this information). I am interested in it beacause there are a securinega specie (S. tinctoria)this plant grows wildly in south of Spain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theobromos Posted July 5, 2003 I don't have my data cards with me but I seem to remember it has adrenergic effects. A www.freetranslation.com translation of a passage in http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/fb/fb96/fb-24.html gives: "In fig. 4a, scnd urine, an Alkaloid is represented out of the leaves of a south east Asian shrub plant. It has an effect similar, however less toxic to the Strychnin on the headquarters nerve system and is used in the Vietnamese people medicine as a Psychopharmakon." O, por mi español: "En el fig. 4a, securinine, un alkaloide de las hojas de un arbusto asiático sureste. Tiene un efecto semejante, pero menos tóxico que strycnina en la sistema nerviosa central y se utiliza en la medicina popular de Vietnam como un droga del mente." Aquel es de Fluggea virosa.
