Abstract:
In addition to atisine and talatisamine, two new alkaloids, gymnaconitine (C), C
34H
47O
8N, and methylgymnaconitine (D), C
35H
49O
8N, have been isolated from Aconitum gymnandrum Maxim. The chemical structures of gymnacontine and methylgymnaconitine were established by UV, IR,
1H NMR,
13C NMR and MS spectral data and chemical evidence.It should be pointed out that it is found for the first time in the research of Aconitum alkaloids that both gymnaconitine and methylgymnaconitine contain 3,4-O-dimethyl-caffeic ester.
