Abstract:
Wan Bei Mu, a substitute for the traditional Chinese medicine Bei Mu (
Fritillaria verticillata Willd.), has been used for antibechic and expectorant. From Wan Bei Mu (the bulbs of
Fritillaria anhuiensis S. C. Chen et S. F. Yin) four alkaloids including a new cevanine alkaloid were isolated. By spectral analysis (IR, MS,
1HNMR,
13CNMR) and preparation of derivative the strucfure of this new alkaloid was elucidated as 5
