Objective: To study the chemical constituents in the roots of Aconitum iochanicum Ulbr.Methods: The air-dried roots of A.iochanicum were powdered and extracted by methanol with a percolation method.After removing the solvent under reduced pressure, the crude extract was dissolved in1.5% HCl solution, and then extracted by ecetic ether.The acidic solution was basified to pH 9.0 by NaOH (5%) and extracted with ethyl acetate to obtain crude alkaloidal extract after the removal of ethyl acetate.The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography and identified based on spectral analysis (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS).Results: Totally 18 compounds were isolated from A.iochanicum and characterized as 14-O-acetylsachaconitine (1), franchetine (2), crassicaudine (3), indaconoitine (4), 14-benzoyl chasmanine (5), 14-O-acetyltalatisamine (6), talatisamine (7), chasmannine (8), crassicauline A (9), bikhaconine (10), 13,15-dideoxyaconitine (11), crassicautine (12), kongboensine (13), liljestrandisine (14), ludaconitine (15), 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine (16), yunaconitine (17) and ouvrardiantine (18).Conclusion: It''s the first time to study the chemical constituents of A.iochanicum, and 18 diterpenoid alkaloids are isolated.

Objective:To study the secondary metabolites of endophytic fungus Alternaria solani from Aconitum Tsaii. Methods:The endogenous fungui fermentation product was extracted by methanol followed by recycling methanol to obtain the extract, and the ex-tract was extracted by ethyl acetate to obtain the crude extract. The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography and identified based on the spectral analysis ( MS, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR) . Results:Totally 12 compounds were isolated from A. so-lani and characterized as (22E, 24R)-Ergosta-4, 6, 8 (14), 22-tetraen-3-one (1), 1,3-Diolein (2), 5-(3', 3'-Dimethylallyloxy)-3-methoxy-4-methylphthalide (3), pseudomonas aeruginosa H2-sesquiterpene lactone (4), ergosterol peroxide (5), 7-dehydroxyl-zinni-ol (6), ergosterol-7, 22-diene-3β, 5,6-triol (7), 9-octadecenoic acid -2',3'-dihydroxy propyl ester (8), 8-O-Methyltalatisamine (9), Chasmanine (10), yunaconitine (11) and crassicauline A (12). Conclusion:Totally 12 compounds are isolated from the endo-phytic fungus Alternaria solani, and four of them are isolated for the first time.

Autophagy is a lysosome-mediated catabolic process that captures and degrades dysfunctional organelles and useless proteins during cellular stress process, which plays a dual role in cervical cancer. In the early stage of cervical cancer, autophagy inhibits the occurrence and development of cervical cancer by prohibiting the accumulation of oncogenic p62 protein. In the advanced stage of cervical cancer, inhibition of autophagy of cancer cells enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs, thus inhibiting their proliferation. In recent years, the research on Chinese medicine monomers regulating autophagy in the treatment of cervical cancer has attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. Chinese medicine monomers regulate the autophagy of cervical cancer cells through multiple pathways and multiple targets, so as to increase the apoptosis rate and reduce the resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, this paper reviewed the mechanism of Chinese medicine monomers in inhibiting cervical cancer through autophagy, expecting to find new breakthroughs in the discovery and development of preventive and therapeutic drugs for cervical cancer. By reviewing the literature, it was found that in the early stage of cervical cancer, Chinese medicine monomers activated autophagy to promote apoptosis of cancer cells, and the main mechanism was to increase lysosomal membrane permeability and chemotherapeutic sensitivity and activate intact autophagy flow. In the advanced stage of cervical cancer, inhibition of autophagy reduced the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs by inhibiting the formation of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. The treatment of cervical cancer by Chinese medicine monomers regulating autophagy has achieved certain effect, but there are few clinical experimental studies and lack of reliable clinical theoretical basis. Therefore, it is essential to carry out more clinical experimental studies on Chinese medicine monomers regulating autophagy to treat cervical cancer, thus finding more reliable theoretical basis for the treatment of tumors.
