“…Preliminary screening of the MeOH extract of this plant toward HepG2 cells (human hepatoma cell line, IC 50 )18.2 µg/mL) indicated cytotoxic potential. Using bioactivityguided fractionation methods, 22 compounds, including five bisbenzylisoquinolines, (+)-isotrilobine (1), 10 (+)-coccuorbiculatine A (2), (+)-10-hydroxyisotrilobine (3), (+)-1,2dehydroapateline (4), 11 and (+)-O-methylcocsoline (5); 12 three aporphines, the mixture of (+)-laurelliptinhexadecan-1-one ( 6) and (+)-laurelliptinoctadecan-1-one ( 7) and (+)norboldine; 13 three protoberberines, (-)-4-methoxy-13,14dihydrooxypalmatine ( 8), (-)-4-methoxypalmatine, 14 and oxypalmatine; 15 one oxoaporphine, peruvianine, 16 and one morphinan, (-)-sinococuline (9), 17 were isolated from the MeOH extracts of stems. Compounds 2-3 and 6-8 are new.…”
