Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the aerial part of Aconitum brachypodum.
Methods: The constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel, activated alumina and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data and physiochemical evidence.
Results: Eleven compounds were isolated from 80% ethanol extract and identified as secokaraconitine (1), brachyaconitines A (2), C (3), talatisamine (4), hypaconitine (5), songrine (6), bullatine A (7), 7-carbony sitosterone (8), lupeol (9), β-sitosterol (10) and daucosterol (11).
Conclusion: All compounds are isolated from the aerial part of Aconitum brachypodum for the first time.

Background: Aconitum carmichaelii is an industrially cultivated medicinal plant in China and its lateral and mother roots are used in traditional Chinese medicine due to the presence of alkaloids. However, the rootlets and aerial parts are discarded after collection of the roots, and the non-toxic polysaccharides in this plant have attracted less attention than the alkaloids and poisonous features. In this study, five neutral and 14 acidic polysaccharide fractions were isolated systematically from different plant parts of A.

Members of the Aconitum genus within the Ranunculaceae family are known to accumulate a broad array of medicinal and toxic diterpenoid alkaloids (DAs). Historically, ent-copalyl diphosphate (ent-CPP) was considered the sole precursor in DAs biosynthesis. However, the recent discovery of ent-8,13-CPP synthase in A.

Article Synopsis
- - Aconitum carmichaelii, a traditional Chinese medicine known for its various pharmacological benefits, is facing significant challenges in cultivation due to root rot, affecting around 60% of plants in Sichuan, China over the last five years and resulting in reduced yields.
- - Symptoms of the disease include stunted growth, dark brown roots, reduced biomass, and a high mortality rate of 50% among infected plants.
- - Research involved isolating and characterizing fungal pathogens from affected plants, identifying them as Ilyonectria robusta through various morphological and genetic analyses, which highlights the need for effective management strategies to combat root rot.

Six undescribed alkaloids together with 15 known alkaloids were isolated from the aerial parts of Aconitum carmichaelii. Their structures were elucidated extensively by NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopy. The absolute configurations of N-formyllaurotetanine, and the known compounds glaucine-β-N-oxide and glaucine-α-N-oxide were established by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra.

Five extracts of the aerial parts of were obtained by different solvent extraction or macroporous adsorption resin purification: ethyl acetate layer extract (EAE), n-butanol layer extract (BuE), water layer extract (WE), extract eluted by 10% ethanol from macroporous resin (10%EE), extract eluted by 80% ethanol from macroporous resin (80%EE). Antioxidant activities of the five extracts were determined by ABTS, DPPH, FRAP assays, anti-AChE activities by modified Ellman's method, anti-hepatoma activities by CCK-8 assay, and chemical constituents of 80%EE were identified by UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS. The results demonstrated that the 80%EE showed the best anti-hepatoma activity on Huh-7 cell line with an of 103.
