The structure - activity relationships of alkaloids ( 1 - 5) from mesquite were subjected to assessment of growth inhibition against the shoot and root growth of monocotyledonous plants, barnyard grass, rice and timothy, and dicotyledonous ones, amaranth, lettuce and cress. All alkaloids tested generally showed growth inhibitory against both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Furthermore, these alkaloids exhibited higher activity against the growth of root than that of shoot of all plant species used, except that juliprosopine ( 5) showed higher activity against the shoot growth than the root growth of rice seedling. Among these alkaloids, the highest active compound appeared to be juliprosine ( 4), followed by a ( 1: 1) mixture of 3- oxo- and 3'- oxo- juliprosine (3a and 3b), and juliprosopine ( 5). The activity of juliprosine ( 4) containing 2-methyl piperidine bearing hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-3' was higher than that of 3- oxo- and 3'- oxo- juliprosine ( 3a and 3b) containing 3- oxo- and 3'- oxo- 2- methylpiperidine. Compound 3 and 4 containing dihydroindolizinium ring showed higher activity than compound 5 containing tetrahydroindolizine ring, whereas compound 1 containing tetrahydroindolizinone ring showed weaker activity. The activity of secojuliprosopinal ( 2) without indolizine ring was very weak. It was thus clarified that the active sites in the chemical structure of alkaloids from mesquite are the functional group at C-3 and C-3' of piperidine and indolizine skeleton.
