N2  - The bark of the rain-forest tree Melicope fareana F. Muell. belonging to the family Rutaceae contains the four alkaloids melicopine (C17H15O5N), melicopidine (C17H15O5N), melicopicine (C18H19O5N), and acronycidine (C15H15O5N). The first three are each present to the extent of about 1 per cent. while the acronycidine content is about 0.1 per cent. About 1 per cent. of lupeol is also present in the bark. The leaves contain melicopine, melicopidine, melicopicine, and the known furanoquinoline alkaloid skimmianine. Melicopine and melicopidine contain two methoxyl groups, a methylimino and a methylenedioxy group. Melicopicine contains four methoxyl groups and a methylimino group.
