Glicósidos de Thevetia plumeriaefolia Benth. I

Abstract

Seeds of Thevetia plumeriaefolia Benth. contain two glycosides, one of them alcoholic, the other a cardiotonic compound similar to thevetin obtained from Thevetia neriifolia Juss. The composition of the glycone of both glycosides and the aglycone part of the cardiotonic principle is discussed.
