Orlando. FL). The two most studied hydroxy indolizidine alkaloids are
swainsonine (35) and castanospermine (36). Swainsonine occurs in Swainsona
canescens (of Australia) and Astragalus and Oxytropis (western United States) at
levels of ...
The first of the three compounds is castanospermine, which is found in the seeds
of the Moreton Bay chestnut, Castanospermum australe. Scientists at King's
College in London isolated this substance in 1981. The other two compounds are
