Antiplatelet activity of N-methoxycarbonyl aporphines from Rollinia mucosa

Phytochemistry. 2001 Jun;57(3):421-5. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00076-0.

Abstract

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the stems of Rollinia mucosa led to the isolation of new N-methoxycarbonyl aporphine alkaloids, romucosine A (1), romucosine B (2), romucosine C (3), and romucosine D (4), along with the known alkaloid, N-methoxylcarbonyl-nornuciferine (5). Alkaloids 1 and 4 exhibited significant inhibition of collagen, arachidonic acid, and platelet activating factor-induced platelet aggregation, and alkaloid 3 also showed an inhibitory effect on arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation.
