Eight undescribed alkaloids named corydalisine D-K (1-7), including one isoquinoline benzopyranone alkaloid (1), one benzocyclopentanone alkaloid (2), four benzofuranone alkaloids (3, 4, and 5a/5b) and two protoberberine alkaloids (6 and 7), along with fourteen known ones, were isolated from the Corydalis saxicola. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were unambiguously identified using spectroscopic techniques, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron circular dichroism calculation. Compounds 2, 14 and 21 exhibit antiproliferative activity against five cancer cell lines. The aporphine alkaloid demethylsonodione (compound 14), which exhibited the best activity (IC = 3.68 ± 0.25 μM), was subjected to further investigation to determine its mechanism of action against the T24 cell line. The molecular mechanism was related to the arrest of cell cycle S-phase, inhibition of CDK2 expression, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), induction of cell apoptosis, inhibition of cell migration, and activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway. The results indicated that 14 could be used as a potential candidate agent for further development of anti-bladder transitional cell carcinoma.

Article Synopsis
- - Yan Huanglian, derived from the plant Corydalis saxicola, shows various pharmacological effects and is being evaluated for its potential in ethnopharmacy.
- - This study established a chromatographic fingerprint for 16 batches of CSB and employed a quantitative analysis of seven key components using a method that incorporates a single reference marker.
- - The findings suggest that this approach of combining fingerprinting with quantitative analysis is effective for assessing the quality of CSB and could serve as a reference for quality control in traditional Chinese medicine.

Article Synopsis
- Bunting total alkaloid (CSBTA) was tested for its antibacterial effects using various scientific methods like SEM, RT-qPCR, and ELISA.
- CSBTA treatment led to significant changes, such as the shrinkage and rupture of bacteria, reduced biofilm density, and lower expression of virulence-related mRNA genes.
- The findings suggest that CSBTA kills free bacteria, disrupts biofilm formation, and could potentially serve as a new drug for treating bacterial infections.
