Abstract:
(±)-Bicoryanhunine B (
1), a new dimeric benzylisoquinoline alkaloid was isolated from the dried tubers of
Corydalis yanhusuo by various chromatographic methods, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, reverse phase C18, and semi-preparative HPLC. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods, including UV, IR, ESI-MS, HR-ESI-MS and 1D/2D NMR. (±)-Bicoryanhunine B (
1) was a moderate PD-1/PD-L1 interaction inhibitor with an IC
50value of 7.80 ±0.49 μmol·L
-1. In addition,
1 exhibited potent inhibitory activities against LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages with an IC
50value of 4.83 ±2.21 μmol·L
-1.
