<p>The article involves in the process of study on novel plant fiber from agave species known as decipiens. The was mechanically extracted their leaves and chemically treated using sodium hydroxide by 5% (w/v). Using various analyses, characterized its properties were obtained. From chemical constituent analysis it confirmed that hemicellulose, amorphous lignin, other impurities removed t...

A new piperidine alkaloid and three known tetranortriterpenoids were isolated from the methanol extracts of the rhizomes of Arisaema decipiens Schott (Araceae) and their chemical structures were identified as (-)-(2R*,3S*,6S*)-N,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-6-(9-phenylnonyl) piperidine (1), 6-deacetylnimbin (2), 28-deoxonimbolide (3) and nimbin (4). The N-methylated derivative (1a) of 1 was synthesized...
