J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2018 May;20(5):423-430. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2017.1335309. Epub 2017 Jun 1.

Abstract

Five new C18-diterpenoid alkaloids, anthriscifoltines C-G (1-5), along with four known diterpenoid alkaloids anthriscifolcines C-F (6-9), were isolated from the extract of Delphinium anthriscifolium var. majus. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (including 1D-, 2D-NMR, and HR-ESI-MS). Compounds 1-5 were also evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against MCF-7, HepG2, and H460 human cancer cell lines.

Keywords: C18-diterpenoid alkaloids; Delphinium; Ranunculaceae; anthriscifolium; cytotoxicity.
