Abstract:
The 14-membered cyclopeptide alkaloid mauritine-C and the 13-membered cyclopeptide alkaloid sativanine-C were isolated from Zizyphus spinea-christi and Zizyphus sativa commonly used in the Saudi Folklor medicine. The N-formyl derivatives of these compounds were prepared and their corresponding spectral data was analyzed. Fundamental differences were observed in the mass spectrometric fragmentation of the newly formed derivatives as compared to the parent compounds mass spectrometry was found a useful tool to substantiate the fragmentation pattern proposed for these potential natural products.
