cotyledons of Cannabis contain adenosine-5-phosphatase (Bar- 
goni and Luzzati 1956). 
Cyclitols and Sugars. Arabinitol, bornesitol, erythritol, 
fructose, glucose, glycerol, D-manno-heptulose, altro-heptulose, 
(+)-inositol, myo-inositol, D-glycero-D-manno-cotulose, ribitol, 
sucrose and xylitol (Haustveit and Wold 1973); quebrachitol 
(Adams et al. 1940; Haustveit and Wold 1973; and Krishna- 
murty and Kaushal 1976); galactosamine (the first record in 
higher plants) (Wold and Hillestad 1976) and vomifoliol and 
dihydrovomifoliol (Bercht et al 1976a); and glucose, fructose, 
galactose, myo-inositol, galactitol and mannitol (Krishnamurty 
and Kaushal 1976). 
Phenolics. p-Coumaric, p-hydroxybenzoic and vanillic acids 
(Paris and Paris 1973); and p-vinylphenol (probably an artefact) 
(Burstein et al., 1976). 
Alkaloids and Related Substances. Cannabamines A, B, C 
and D (structures undetermined) (Klein et al. 1971; Caolo et al. 
1979a and 1979b) have reported on the isolation of afileramine, 
an alkaloid from Zanthoxylum punctatum Vahl bearing a direct 
structural relationship to the cannabinols. A second cannabinol- 
like alkaloid was isolated by these workers from the same plant, 
which presented an identical mass spectrometric fragmentation 
as cannabamine B, and a structure was postulated; cannabisati- 
vine (Lotter et al. 1975; Slatkin et al. 1975b, Turner et al. 1976), 
anhydrocannabisativine (Elsohly et al. 1978b); hexadecanamide 
(Smith and Kempfert 1977); piperidine (Obata et al. 1960; 
Salemink et al. 1966 and Bercht and Salemink 1969); hordenine 
(El-Feraly and Turner 1975; and F!sohly and Turner 1976 and 
1977); ammonia, methylamine, ethylamine, n-propylamine, n- 
butylamine, iso-butylamine, sec-butylamine, dimethylamine, di- 
ethylamine and pyrrolidine (Lousberg and Salemink 1973), with 
the following being tentatively identified: iso-amylamine, B- 
phenylethylamine, n-pentylamine, cadaverine, ethnolamine (or 
histamine) and benzylamine (or tyramine) (Lousberg and Sale- 
mink 1973); choline (El-Feraly and Turner 1975; Mole and 
Turner 1973, 1974; Salemink et al. 1966; and Turner and Mole 
1973); neurine (El-Feraly and Turner 1975; Mole and Turner 
1973, 1974; Shoyama et al. 1968; and Turner and Mole 1973);
