The chemical constituents from var. were investigated. The roots of this plant were extracted three times with 90% EtOH at the room temperature. The ethanol extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield residue, which was suspended in water and successively partitioned with chloroform. The chloroform extraction was isolated and purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Six compounds were isolated and elucidated as delelatine (1), isodelpheline (2), 3-acetylaconitine (3), isoatisine (4), nordhagenine A (5) and yunaconitine (6). Compounds 1-5 were obtained from for the first time. Compound (1) showed significant cytotoxic activities (IC= 4.36 μM) against the human tumor cell line P388.

Academy of Forensic Science, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Forensic Medicine, Shanghai Forensic Service Platform, Key Laboratory of Forensic Science, Ministry of Justice, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:

Aconitum herbs contain several highly toxic diester-diterpenoid alkaloids, including aconitine, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine. However, finding the cause of death is rather difficult for forensic pathologists during forensic autopsy of aconitine-induced death. Therefore, the ability to determine Aconitum alkaloids is important in these cases.
