[Studies on the aporphine alkaloids from Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr].
OBJECTIVE
To study aporphine alkaloids from Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr. which is a characteristic plant of Guangxi.


METHODS
Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the aporphine alkaloids. Their physical and chemical properties and spectral data were measured for structural elucidation.


RESULTS
Four aporphine alkaloids were isolated from the fraction of total alkaloids of Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr. They were identified as romucosine(I), xylopine(II), O-methylmoschatolineIII), oxoxylopine(IV).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds I is obtained from this plant for the first time.
