Phytochemistry. 2003 Jun;63(4):475-8. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(03)00182-1.

Abstract

Two alkaloids, named sterculinine I and sterculinine II, together with thirteen known compounds were isolated from the ethanol extract of a well-known Chinese traditional drug, Pangdahai (the seeds of Sterculia lychnophora Hance). Their structures were elucidated by NMR, UV, IR and MS spectroscopic analysis.
