Abstract
Several alkaloids are postulated to be derived from anthranilic acid. These include some rather simple substituted anthranilic acids, quinolines, and some with condensed ring systems of various types. Some of the parent nuclei of these alkaloids are as follows:
Excellent herbs had our fathers of old —
Excellent herbs to ease their pain —
Alexanders and Marigold,
Eyebright, Orris, and Elecampane —
Basil, Rocket, Valerian, Rue,
(Almost singing themselves they run)
Vervain, Dittany, Call-me-to-you —
Cowslip, Melilot, Rose of the Sun.
Our Fathers of Old, Rudyard Kipling*
