Objective:
To study aporphine alkaloids from Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr. which is a characteristic plant of Guangxi.
Methods:
Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the aporphine alkaloids. Their physical and chemical properties and spectral data were measured for structural elucidation.
Results:
Four aporphine alkaloids were isolated from the fraction of total alkaloids of Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr. They were identified as romucosine(I), xylopine(II), O-methylmoschatolineIII), oxoxylopine(IV).
Conclusion:
Compounds I is obtained from this plant for the first time.
