One new otonecine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloid secopetasitenine (1), along with petasitenine (fukinotoxine, 2), neopetasitenine (3), and senkirkine (4), was isolated from the whole plant of Petasites japonicus. The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic analyses and chemical conversion from the known alkaloid petasitenine (2).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are a group of phytotoxins present in about 3% of flowering plants worldwide. Ingestion of PA-containing herbal products may lead to hepatotoxicity. Notably, the toxicokinetic (TK) behaviors, especially pyrrole-protein adducts (PPAs) having the same structure but generated from metabolic activation of different PAs, significantly affect the toxicity of structurally diverse PAs, therefore studying them in their pure form is preferable to extracts to stratify toxic potency of different PAs co-existing in herbal extracts.

Two undescribed pyrrolizidine alkaloids, 13-dehydrosenkirkine () and chloromethylretrorsine (), along with three known analogues, onetine (), retrorsine (), and usaramine -oxide (), were isolated from Gaertn. The structures of the undescribed compounds were elucidated by extensive spectrometric and spectroscopic techniques, including HRESIMS, NMR, calculated C-NMR DP4+ analysis and comparison with experimental and calculated ECD spectra. The undescribed compounds were evaluated for their antitumour activity against HT29, HeLa, and HepG2 cells.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are natural toxins found in about 3%-5% of flowering plants. Dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids contain a double bond in 1, 2-position of the necine bases, including retronecine type PAs (RET-PAs) and their N-oxides (RET N-oxide-PAs), and otonecine type PAs (OTO-PAs), and are known for their significant hepatotoxicity. Most dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids are metabolically activated by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes to generate active pyrroles, which further bind to proteins to form pyrrole-protein adducts (PPAs).
