Norditerpenoid Alkaloids from the Roots of Aconitum hemsleyanum Pritz.var.Pengzhouense

In continuation of our studies on Aconitum hemsleyanum Pritz.var. pengzhouense, two new norditerpenoid alkaloids, pengshenines A(1) and B(2),have isolated from the roots of the plants and their strucures were elucidated by 1D-and 2D-NMR.     

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.     

Two new C18-norditerpenoid alkaloids from Aconitum delavayi

Further phytochemical investigation of the unique C18-norditerpenoid alkaloids from the roots of Aconitum delavayi Franch ledto the isolation of two new norditerpenoid alkaloids,delavaconitine F 1 and delavaconitine G 2.Their structures were determinedfrom spectroscopic evidence.     

A new diterpenoid alkaloid from Aconitum hemsleyanum

Abstract

A new C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloid named hemsleyaline (1), along with fourteen known alkaloids (2-15), were isolated from the roots of Aconitum hemsleyanum Pritz. (Ranunculaceae), a herbal medicine in southwest China. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 showed mild cholinesterase inhibitory effect with IC₅₀ value of 471?±?9?μM.     

Secondary Metabolites with Anti-Inflammatory from the Roots of Cimicifuga taiwanensis

The genus Cimicifuga is one of the smallest genera in the family Ranunculaceae. Cimicifugae Rhizoma originated from rhizomes of Cimicifuga simplex, and C. dahurica, C. racemosa, C. foetida, and C. heracleifolia have been used as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic remedies in Chinese traditional medicine. Inflammation is related to many diseases. Cimicifuga taiwanensis was often used in folk therapy in Taiwan for inflammation. Phytochemical investigation and chromatographic separation of extracts from the roots of Cimicifuga taiwanensis has led to the isolation of six new compounds: cimicitaiwanins A–F (1–6, respectively). The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis (1D- and 2D-NMR, MS, and UV) and comparison with the literature data. The effect of some isolates on the inhibition of NO production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages was evaluated. Of the isolates, 3–6 exhibited potent anti-NO production activity, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 6.54 to 24.58 μM, respectively, compared with that of quercetin, an iNOS inhibitor with an IC₅₀ value of 34.58 μM. This is the first report on metabolite from the endemic Taiwanese plant-C. taiwanensis.     

Unprecedented C_(19)-diterpenoid alkaloid glycosides from an aqueous extract of “fu zi”: Neoline 14-O-L-arabinosides with four isomeric L-anabinosyls

Four structurally unprecedented aconitane-type C_(19)-diterpenoid alkaloid glycosides with isomeric arabinosyls, named aconicarmichosides A–D(1–4), were isolated from an aqueous extract of "fu zi", the lateral roots of Aconitum carmichaelii. Their structures were determined as neoline 14-O-a-and 14-O-b-L-arabinopyranosides(1 and 2) and 14-O-a-and 14-O-b-L-arabinofuranosides(3 and 4), by spectroscopic and chemical methods including 2D NMR experiments and acid hydrolysis. Compounds 1–4 represent the first examples of glycosidic diterpenoid alkaloids.     

Vilmoraconitine, a novel skeleton C19-diterpenoid alkaloid from Aconitum vilmorinianum

A novel C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloid vilmoraconitine (1) was isolated from the roots of Aconitun vilmorinianum. Its structure was mainly determined by MS, 2D NMR, and X-ray methods. This is the first aconitine-type C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloid with one three-membered ring at C-8, C-9, and C-10.     

New C20-diterpenoid alkaloids from Aconitum sinomontanum

Two new denudatine-type C₂₀-diterpenoid alkaloids, named sinomontanidines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the roots of Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of 1D, 2D NMR, and MS data.     

New Spirostanol Sulfonate from the Rhizomes of Helleborus thibetanus(Ranunculaceae)

A new spirostanol sulfonate, spirost-5,25(27)-dien-1β,3β-diol 1-sulfonate(1), was isolated from the rhi-zomes of Helleborus thibetanus(Ranunculaceae), and the structure was identified on the basis of a detailed spectros-copic analyses, including 2D NMR spectrometry, IR and HRESI-MS.
