Resumo

Erythrina verna is a medicinal plant used to calm agitation popularly known as mulungu.We purchased the barks of E. verna from a commercial producer and analyzed the alkaloid fraction of the bark by CG-MS and HRESI-MS.Five erythrinian alkaloids were identified: erysotrine, erythratidine, erythratidinone, epimer, and 11-hydroxieritratidinone.Here we report the compound 11-hydroxieritratidinone for the first time as a natural product.
