Abstract

Alkaloids with an isoquinoline (or reduced isoquinoline) nucleus are considerably more common than alkaloids with a quinoline nucleus.

Two Sister-Nymphs to Ganges’ flowery brink Bend their light steps, the lucid water drink, With playful malice watch the scaly brood, And shower the inebriate berries on the flood. —Dim your slow eyes, and dull your pearly coat, Drunk on the waves your languid forms shall float,

The Loves of the Plants, Erasmus Darwin
