Investigation of Calabash Curare

Abstract

A study was made of the important alkaloid structures of calabash curare. Attempts will be made to correlate structure and physiological activity. The structures of the dihydrotoxiferine and c-curarine-I families were established. Deuterodihydrotoxiferine and deuterotoxiferine were synthesized. The study of calebassine and its associated alkaloids and lumi- dihydrotoxiferine is still under investigation.
