title: Alkaloids of Thalictrum. XXII. Isolation of alkaloids with hypotensive and antimicrobial activity from Thalictrum revolutum.
abstract: Sixteen alkaloids were characterized from Thalictrum revolutum DC., namely; thalidasine, O-methylthalmethine, O-methylthalicberine, thalrugosaminine, thalicarpine, thalmelatine, pennsylvanine, palmatine, berberine, thalifendine, columbamine, jatrorrhizine, deoxythalidastine, thalphenine and magnoflorine. The structure of thairugosaminine (1) a bisbenzylisoquinoline type which was previously proposed on partial data was completely established, including the absolute configuration as S,S. Thalphenine, thalidasine, O-methylthalicberine, thalicarpine, thalrugosaminine and thaliglucinone were found to possess hypotensive activity in rabbits. Thalrugosaminine, thalicarpine, thalmelatine, O-methylthalmethine, pennsylvanine and thalphenine were found to be active against Mycobacterium smegmatis.
