Abstract
Lobelia inflata L. (Campanulaceae) is an annual plant with an erect, angular, slightly pubescent stem of up to 50 cm. It is commonly known as Indian tobacco, since it is used as a substitute for tobacco by American Indians. Several dialkylpiperidine alkaloids have been isolated from this plant (Schöpf and Kauffmann 1957). The total alkaloid content of L. inflata was found to be 0.134–0.635%, and the quantity of alkaloid varies with the culture conditions (Kalashnikov 1939).
