Five new prenylflavonoids, artocommunols CA (1), CB (2), CC (3), CD (4), and CE (5), were isolated from the cortex of the roots of Artocarpus communis, along with the known compound cyclomorusin. The structures of 1-5 were determined by spectral methods.

A dichlorinated alkaloid with a novel skeleton, chingazumianine (1), was isolated from the herb Corydalis koidzumiana, and its structure elucidated by spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallographic analysis. In citratetreated human platelet-rich plasma (PRP), known compounds, i.e., protopine (2), (AE)-tetrahydropalmatine (3), and palmatine (4), isolated from this plant, showed significant inhibition of secondary aggregation induced by adrenaline in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that the antiplatelet effects of these compounds is mainly due to an inhibitory effect on thromboxane formation.
