Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study alkaloid constituents of Diploclisia affinis.
METHODThe air-dried vine stems of D. affinis were extracted with 90% EtOH three times at room temperature. The EtOH extract was suspended in H2 O and adjusted to pH 2 with 5% HCl solution. After extracted with petroleum ether and CHCl3 successively, the aqueous fraction was adjusted to pH 9 with 10% NH3 x H2O and extracted with CHCl3 again to afford the total alkaloids fraction. The compounds were isolated through column chromatography from the total alkaloids fraction. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis (MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR).
RESULTFive alkaloids was identified as reticuline (1), asimilobine (2), acutumine (3), dihydroxyprotoberberine (4), stepholidine (5), were isolated from the vine stems of D. affinis.
CONCLUSIONAll the compounds were obtained from D. affinis for the first time.
