The club moss Lyeopodium gnidiodes (known as somarona to the natives of Madagascar) is said to produce effects similar to those of marijuana when smoked. Other species of this genus are found in the USA, and the pictures are given in any botany text. Some members of the genus Myrothamnus are also active. [Pg.180]

All the coal we mine deep underground today is made up of the remains of plants that grew around three hundred million years ago — huge tree ferns, giant club mosses and horsetails. They thrived in the hot, humid climate, died and tumbled to the ground. During the ages they were covered by other dead trees and by layers upon layers of mud. Eventually, pressure and heat turned them into coal. [Pg.76]

Lycopodium alkaloids. The Lycopodium (or club moss) alkaloids include quino-lizidine alkaloids in which N atoms are variously shared between two or three six-membered rings. The toxic alkaloid lycopodine (C5N G5N G6 [isobutyl<]) is a tetracyclic alkaloid with an N shared between two six-membered rings. The toxic alkaloid carolinianine (C5N C5N ]] C5N N CN5 )) is a tetracyclic with two Ns shared between three and two six-membered rings, respectively. Other such alkaloids, such as lycodine (G5N C6[isobutyl<] ] C5N), have Ns that are associated with only one ring. [Pg.17]

H. sermta is a club moss fem that is distributed worldwide and grows in the forest, shrubbery, and roadside in the region at an altitude of 300-2700 m. It has a long growing period (8-15 years) and low HA content (in our experience, 1 ton dried whole plant yielded 70-90 g HA). So, the source of HA has been an obstacle to large-scale application of HA and its active derivates. Many scientists have tried to resolve this problem with the methods of synthesis, tissue culture, genetic engineer, or plant cultivation in the last decade. However, they did not successfully create a new HA source to replace of the natural plant thus far. [Pg.147]

Acetate is also a precursor of several groups of alkaloids in the form of a polyketide chain that interacts with an unknown nitrogen source (as in the terpene alkaloids). Examples of acetate-derived alkaloids are coniine—the toxic principle of Conium maculatum, pinidine—from several Pinus species, and the naphthy-lisoquinoline alkaloids (e.g., ancistrocladine)—showing antimalarial and anti-HIV activity. The latter alkaloids are apparently derived from the oxidative coupling of two pentaketide units. Huperzine A, currently in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer s disease and isolated from the club moss (Serrata huperzia), is derived from a polyacetate precursor (Fig. 46). [Pg.256]
