Flindersia pimenteliana

Flindersia pimenteliana is a species of plant in the Rutaceae family. It may be known by the common name Maple Silkwood. The common name Maple Silkwood may also refer to Flindersia australis, Flindersia brayleyana or Flindersia pubescens. It is found in Queensland (Australia), West Papua (Indonesia), and Papua New Guinea. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Chemical Constituents

F. pimenteliana contains tryptamine alkaloids known as pimentelamines. They are adducts of ascorbic acid. The plant also contains 2-isoprenyl-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, another tryptamine alkaloid, as well as 4-methylborreverine, borreverine, dimethylisoborreverine, quercitrin, and carpachromene.[1]
