Liriodenine was evaluated for its antibacterial and antifungalactivity against several microorganisms. Other relatedoxoaporphinealkaloids also were evaluated. Attempts to prepare oxoaporphinealkaloids from N-acetylnoraporphines were unsuccessful, but an unexpected phenanthrene alkaloid was obtained. A novel N-demethylation reaction was noted when oxogaucine methiodide and liriodenine methiodide
Antimicrobial compositions useful in mammal. An extract of the heartwood of Liriodendron tulipifera L., provides components and derivatives thereof useful as antimicrobial agents; antimicrobial compositions comprising liriodenine, dehydroglaucine liriodenine methiodide and oxoglaucine methiodide compounds of and derivatives and mixtures thereof of alkaloids isolated from the extract of the heartwood of Liriodendron tulipifera L. The antimicrobial compositions being particularly useful against Gram positive bacteria, acid fast bacteria and fungi and yeast.
