Characterizing alkaloid diversity in Psychotria viridis leaf extracts from central Amazonian terra firme forest understory populations
International Journal of Pharmacognosy and Life Science 2024 Eduardo Tavares
The tryptamine-rich shrub Psychotria viridis stands at the centre of Amazonian ethnobotany, yet baseline data on its full alkaloid profile remain surprisingly thin. This research characterized alkaloid diversity in leaf extracts from five wild understory populations growing on terra firme soils within a 60-km radius of Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil. Leaves were collected during the wet season...
