Summary:
Enantia Polycarpa, a plant of the family Annonaceae indigenous of North West Africa, is much used in traditional Ivory Coast medicine to cure wounds, leprosy, and several opththalmic diseases. It is known to contain alkaloids in the bark of the trunk; to further investigate this matter the authors isolated all components in the bark and in the leaves of the plant. They were able to isolate 8 nonquaternary alkaloids in the bark, and no less than 10 quaternary and nonquaternary alkaloids in the leaves. With the exception of 2, the alkaloids found in the bark were different from those found in the leaves.
