Published: February 2005

Objective: To study the alkaloid constituents of Corydalis adunca.

Method: The constituents were isolated on silica gel column and their structures were elucidated by IR, NMR, MS data.

Result: Eight alkaloid compounds were isolated from alcohol extracts of the herb of C. adunca, and identified as dihydrosanguinarine (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: Five compounds were isolated from C. adunca for the first time.

One new Sesquiterpene wikstromicrol (1), one new lignan (7R, 8S, 8'S)-9-acetoxyl (-)-isolariciresinol (8), and twelve known compounds were isolated from the branches and leaves of Wikstroemia micrantha. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by extensive interpretation of spectroscopic data and quantum chemical calculations of ECD spectra. The bioactivity assay showed that compounds 6 and 7 had weak cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HCT-116, and HL-60 cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 33.
