Eight alkaloids, including a new compound, (+)-norboldine acetate (1), and seven known ones, (+)-norboldine (2), (+)-boldine (3), (+)-laurotetanine (4), (+)-N-methyllaurotetanine (5), (+)-reticuline (6), (-)-pronuciferine (7), and pallidine (8) were isolated from the roots of Lindera aggregata. The structures of these alkaloids were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods, especially 2D NMR techniques, which also allowed the first full NMR assignments of alkaloids 2, 4 and 5. Among them, the 1D NMR chemical shifts of (+)-norboldine (2) showed a remarkable environmental sensitive behavior. All the alkaloids were tested in cytotoxicity assays against L1210 and K562 tumor cell lines; only (+)-norboldine (2) showed weak activity against the L1210 cell line.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder marked by persistent joint inflammation, pain, and tissue degradation. This study evaluates the therapeutic potential of Norisoboldine (NOR), an isoquinoline alkaloid from Lindera aggregata, in a rat model of RA.
Methods: Rats were divided into five groups: normal control (G1), RA model (G2), NOR-treated groups at 15 mg/kg (G3) and 30 mg/kg (G4), and methotrexate-treated group (G5).

Depression is a common mental illness, which is highly related to intestinal motor dysfunction and causes a global burden of disease. Lindera aggregata (LA), a traditional medicinal herb, has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders; however, the effect of LA on depression remains unclear. Here, we assessed the impact of LA on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression in mice and explored the related mechanisms.
