Five species of Cyphomandra examined all contained both amines and amides. From roots of Margaranthus solanaceus cuscohygrine has been isolated which probably occurs, too, in roots of Lycianthes rantonnettii. The distribution of these compounds throughout the taxa could be of chemotaxonomic value. © 1980.Mahidol UniversityAgricultural and Biological SciencesBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyMedicineArticleSCOPUS10.1016/S0031-9422(00)91025-2
