Neuropharmacological studies were carried out with reticuline, a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, isolated from Ocotea duckei Vattimo. It was found that reticuline (50-100 mg/kg i.p.) produced alteration of behaviour pattern, prolongation of pentobarbital-induced sleep, reduction in motor coordination and D-amphetamine-induced hypermotility and suppression of the conditioned avoidance response. These observations suggest that reticuline possesses potent central nervous system depressant action.
对从奥氏奥寇梯木(Ocotea duckei Vattimo)中分离出的苄基异喹啉生物碱网状番荔枝碱进行了神经药理学研究。结果发现,网状番荔枝碱(腹腔注射50 - 100毫克/千克)会导致行为模式改变、戊巴比妥诱导的睡眠时间延长、运动协调性降低、D - 苯丙胺诱导的活动过度受到抑制以及条件性回避反应受到抑制。这些观察结果表明,网状番荔枝碱具有强大的中枢神经系统抑制作用。
