Abstract:
AimTo search for more bioactive compounds from the roots of
Aconitum coreanum (Lèvl.) Rapaics. MethodsHigh speed countercurrent chromatography was successfully applied to the separation of alkaloids from
Aconitum coreanum. The structures were elucidated by their physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. ResultsTwo-phase solvent system composed of CHCl
3-CH
3OH-0.2 mol·L
-1 HCl (10∶3∶3, volume ratio) was used in this experiment, eight alkaloids were obtained from the roots of
Aconitum coreanum, which were identified as: 2
α-propionyl-11
α,13
β-diacetyl-14-hydroxyhetisine (I), Guanfu base P (II), Guanfu base G (III), Guanfu base F (IV), Guanfu base Z (V), Guanfu base O (VI), Guanfu base A (VII), Guanfu base B (VIII). ConclusionCompound I is a new alkaloid, named Guanfu base R.
