We have investigated the pharmacological properties of pteleprenine, a quinoline alkaloid, on contractile responses of the guinea-pig ileum and on inotropic responses of the canine left atrium. Although pteleprenine (0.1-1 microM) had no effect on the contraction of the ileum induced by
We investigated the pharmacological properties of pteleprenine, a quinoline alkaloid contained in the Rutaceous plant, Orixa japonica, on the contractile responses of the guinea pig ileum and on the inotropic responses of the canine left atrium. Contractile responses of the ileum to acetylcholine
Orixajaponica (Rutaceae) is a shrub widely distributed in Japan, and has been found to contain various quinoline alkaloids. We investigated the alkaloidal constituents of O. japonica, and four quinoline alkaloids were isolated and characterized. Three of these alkaloids are new natural products.
Two quinoline alkaloids, japonine (1) and eduline (2) were isolated from the methanol extract of the leaves of Orixa japonica as relaxants against rat small intestine muscle. The activity of these alkaloids was comparable to that of the typical muscle relaxant papaverine (4). This is also the first
