Сонорамин

Description

Songoramine is a diterpene alkaloid of the napelline series from plants of the genus Aconitum, in particular from Aconitum carmichaelii and Aconitum brachypodum. The formula C22H29NO3 differs from the formula of songorin (C22H31NO3) by two hydrogen atoms: songoramine is a more oxidized analogue of songorin and accompanies it in plant materials. The product name in the original card is rendered as “Sonoramine” - this is a machine typo, the correct spelling is Songoramine.

Identification

There are no other measured physical and chemical constants in the product card. The supplier does not provide the molecular weight and exact mass; the calculated descriptors (PSA, XLogP3, density) are also missing.

Scope of application

• analytical standard for the determination of diterpene alkaloids in raw materials and preparations of aconite using HPLC-MS methods
• marker for chemotaxonomic delimitation of Aconitum species by alkaloid profile
• reference compound for deciphering the structure of related alkaloids using two-dimensional NMR methods
• object of phytochemical studies of the alkaloid composition of aconite roots

Storage and handling

Keep in a tightly closed container, in the dark and dry, away from acids and oxidizing agents. As a base, the alkaloid gives salts with acids - this is taken into account when selecting the mobile phase and storage conditions for solutions. Handle as if it were a potent substance: gloves, no dust, keep track of samples.
