Author(s): Olajire Abass. Abiola and Edewor-kuponiyi Theresa Ibibia

An alkaloid 7-acetyl-5-ethenyl-3-(N-cyclopenta-3'', 5''-dienyl-2''-hydroxy piperidine) quinoline responsible for the itching effects of the hairs of Mucuna pruriens was isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble portion of the methanol extract. The structure was determined using spectroscopic techniques.
