Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Corydalis ochotensis and their antitumor bioactivity.
Methods: The compounds were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and recrystallization. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis (NMR) and physicochemical properties. Their cytotoxic activity was studied by MTT.
Results: Six compounds were elucidated as protopine (1), ochotensimine (2), fumariline (3), sanguinarine (4), tetrahydroberberine (5) and berberine (6). Compound 1 had excellent inhibitory activity on HepG2, SW480 and A549 cells, and compound 4 had excellent inhibitory activity on Hep2, HepG2, SW480 and A549 cells.
Conclusion: Compounds 3, 4 and 5 are isolated from this plant for the first time; In the MTT antitumor experiments,compounds 1 and 4 show an antitumor activity.

Article Synopsis
- A metabolic pathway was identified for 2,3,10,11-oxygenated tetrahydroprotoberberines, focusing on their conversion processes in plant cell cultures of Macleaya, Corydalis, and Nandina species.
- Feeding experiments with labeled precursors utilized advanced techniques (LC-NMR, LC-MS/MS, LC-CD) to determine the structures of the resulting alkaloid metabolites.
- Key transformations included the O-methylation and N-methylation of (S)-tetrahydropseudoprotoberberine, resulting in various alkaloids unique to different plant species, highlighting distinct metabolic routes among them.
Spirobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids from Corydalis ochotensis.
