PEREZ, EDWIN G.; SAEZ, JAIRO  y  CASSELS, BRUCE K.. A CONVENIENT, RENEWABLE SOURCE OF THE ANXIOLYTIC PROAPORPHINE ALKALOID GLAZIOVINE: DUGUETIA VALLICOLA LEAVES. J. Chil. Chem. Soc. [online]. 2005, vol.50, n.3, pp.553-557. ISSN 0717-9707.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-97072005000300005.

The leaves of Duguetia vallicola, a fairly common, large evergreen tree from the coastal regions of Panama, Colombia and Venezuela, contain (6aS)-glaziovine (1) as a major constituent. The abundance and renewable character of the plant material make it an attractive source for this rare, psychoactive alkaloid. The availability of glaziovine and its O-methyl derivative pronuciferine (2) has made complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR assignments of proaporphines possible for the first time
