Twenty-nine quinolizidine alkaloids have been found and characterized from the combined leaf/hypocotyl extracts of Lupinus polyphyllus. Twelve have not been found previously in this plant and the structure of 10 has been unambiguously assigned from a combination of mass spectroscopy and NMR data, and by direct comparison with synthetic material for the N-carboxymethyl ester, N-carboxyethyl ester and N-formyl derivatives of angustifoline. The co-occurrence of 13alpha-hydroxylupanine and its 13beta-isomer is reported for the first time in a quinolizidine alkaloid-accumulating species.
