Meteloidine is an alkaloid found in some Brugmansia and Datura species. [1] Its also found in Erythroxylum australe and is said to be cocaine-like alkaloid. [2]
The first report of the isolation from a natural source of meteloidine was in 1908 by Frank Lee Pyman and William Colebrook Reynolds [3] from the flowering plant Datura metel along Angelate ester and Datura meteloides (now reclassified as Datura innoxia ). [4]
Meteloidine is primarily found in solanaceous plants, and in one species of genus Erythroxylum . It has been found in the leaves and flowers of Brugmansia × candida , [5] and in the roots of Datura leichhardtii , [6] Brugmansia suaveolens , [7] Anthocercis littorea and Anthocercis viscosa [8] in minor quantities, and in Anthocercis genistoides as its principal alkaloid. Meteloidine has been identified in Erythroxylum australe , which is of chemotaxonomic interest as meteloidine has been found in a number of the Solanacae family, but in only one species in the family Erythroxylaceae .
