Bioactive alkaloids from Illigera luzonensis

J Nat Prod. 1997 Jun;60(6):645-7. doi: 10.1021/np9700735.

Abstract

Using antiplatelet aggregation as a guide to fractionation, seven aporphines, actinodaphnine (1), N-methylactinodaphnine (2), launobine (3), dicentrine (4), O-methylbulbocapnine (5), hernovine (7), and bulbocapnine (9), and two oxoaporphines, dicentrinone (6) and liriodenine (8), were isolated from the stems of Illigera luzonensis. Among them, compounds 2, 4, 5, 8, and 9 were isolated for the first time from this species. Moreover, compounds 1-5, and 8 showed significant antiplatelet aggregation and compounds 1 and 6 exhibited significant vasorelaxant activities, respectively.
