Abstract:
Three p-aryloxy macrocyclic peptide alkaloids frangulanine, franganine and frangufoline together with the 1-benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid armepavine have been isolated from Euonymus europaeus native to Poland. These types of alkaloids are new to the Celastraceae and are of chemotaxonomic interest.
