Chemical constituents of Corydalis decumbens / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the alkaloids chemical composition from stem of Corydalis decumbens. Methods: The compounds from the ethyl acetate part were separated and purified through various kinds of chromatographic methods and their structures were identified by physico-chemical properties of spectroscopic methods. Results: Eleven alkaloids compounds were isolated and identified. They were protopine (1), muramine (2), β-allocryptopine (3), cryptopine (4), (6S, 6aS, M)-isocorydine (5), bulbocapine (6), (+)-egenine (7), (-)-corypalmine (8), bicuculline (9), (-)-7'-O-methylegenine (10), and epi-coryximine (11). Conclusion: Compounds 5 and 10 are isolated from this genus for the first time. Compound 3, 8, and 10 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
