| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To study the alkaloid constituents of Corydalis adunca. METHOD:The constituents were isolated on silica gel column and their structures wereelucidated by IR, NMR, MS data. RESULT: Eight alkaloid compounds were isolatedfrom alcohol extracts of the herb of C. adunca, and identified asdihydrosanguinarine (I), tetrahydrocolumbamine (II),1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-methoxy-1-[(4-methoxy)phenyl]methyl-8-quinolinol (III),protopine (IV) and 6-acetonyl-5,6-dihydrosanguinarine (V). CONCLUSION: Fivecompounds were isolated from C. adunca for the first time. |
