Description | 16-epivellosimine is a member of the class of compounds known as macroline alkaloids. Macroline alkaloids are alkaloids with a structure that is based on the tetracyclic macroline skeleton. The macroline skeleton arises by scission of the C-21 to N-4 bond of the akuammilan skeleton, and mostly occurs in bisindole alkaloids. 16-epivellosimine is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 16-epivellosimine can be found in a number of food items such as bitter gourd, red raspberry, orange bell pepper, and star anise, which makes 16-epivellosimine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. |
