Infobox references

Melicopidine is an alkaloid. Its formula is C17H15NO5. It, along with melicopine and melicopicine, is named for the Australian rutaceae (Melicope fareana) from which it was first isolated.[2]

Occurrence

As an alkaloid, melicopidine naturally occurs in and has been isolated from Medicosma fareana[3] and Sarcomelicope megistophylla[4] in addition to Melicope fareana.[2]
