Some years ago, Tomko et al. (I) isolated a secondary alkaloid, veralkamine, from Veratrum album ssp. lobelianum (Bernh.) Suessenguth. In alteration of a formerly proposed provisional constitution (2) its complete structure has been established by recent chemical and physical reinvestigations including an X-ray structural analysis of veralkamine hydroiodide. According to these studies briefly described in this paper veralkamine was shown to be (22~:2~~)-22.26-epimino-l7B-methyl-l8-nor-cholesta-~.l2-diene-jB.lGB-diol [(17~:22~:2~~)-22.26-epimino-l8(1~~l7)-~-cholesta-~.12-d~ene-3B.l6B-diol, I]. Elemental analysis and mass spectroscopy indicated that veraikamine (I) has the empirical formula C2?Hh3N02. Selenium debydrogenation afforded in addition to 2-ethyl-5-methylpyridine y-methylcyclopentenophenantbrene (Diels' hydrocarbon) demonstrating the steroidal nature of the alkaloid as well as the absence of a C-nor-D-homo steroidal skeleton characteristical for many other Veratrum bases. The mass spectra (negative and positive * Alkaloids from Veratrum album ssp. lobelianum (Bernh.) Suessenguth, Part XIV. -Part XIII of this series of. G. Adam, K. Schreiber, and J.
