“…These compounds included eight alkaloids and derivatives (4 1 , 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 1 , 11 2 , 11 3 , 13), five organic acids and derivatives (3, 14, 19, 20, 21), five organic oxygen compounds (2, 4 2 , 6, 16, 17, 18), three benzenoids (7, 12, 25), two phenylpropanoids and polyketides (24, 28), one organic nitrogen compound (1), one lipids and lipid-like molecule (22), and one organoheterocyclic compound (26). Consistent with previous findings ( 35 , 38 , 56 ), we have also determined six alkaloids matrine, oxymatrine, N-methylcytisine, sophoridine, sophocarpine and oxysophocarpine, which have been known as the primary active ingredients of CKI.…”
