Norditerpenoid alkaloids from the roots of Aconitum heterophyllum Wall with antibacterial activity

J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem. 2008 Dec;23(6):1018-22. doi: 10.1080/14756360701810140.

Abstract

Two new aconitine-type norditerpenoid alkaloids 6-dehydroacetylsepaconitine (1) and 13-hydroxylappaconitine (2), along with three known norditerpenoid alkaloids lycoctonine, delphatine and lappaconitine were isolated from the roots of the Aconitum heterophyllum Wall. These compounds exhibited significant antibacterial activity. The structure of compound 1 and 2 were deduced on the basis of their spectral data.
