Abstract
Five alkaloids: three β-phenethylamine. one
tetrahydroisoquinoline and one indole-3-alkylamine
have been isolated from the stem-leaves
of Desmodium adscedens, a plant used in
Ghana for the management of asthma. Spectral
(Ultraviolet. infrared. mass spectral) evidence
and comparison with reference materials
established their identities as tyramine. N,N-dime
thyltyramine, 3.4-dimethoxy-β-phenethylamine, Salsoline and N,N-dimethyltryptamine,
In addition, several unidentified indole
and other minor basic components were
detected by thin layer chromatography.
