[Chemical constituents from Corydalis yanhusuo].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents from the 60% ethanol extract of Corydalis yanhusuo.


METHODS
The chemical constituents were separated and purified by various chromatographic techniques, and their structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectroscopic analysis.


RESULTS
Nine alkaloids were obtained and determined as 7-formyldidehydroglaucine (1), nantenine (2), (+)-O-methylbulbocapnine (3), d-corydaline (4), tetrahydrocoptisine (5), 8-oxocoptisine (6), palmatine (7), tetrahydropalmatine (8), and dehydrocorydaline (9), respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
Compound 1 was obtained from natural products for the first time, and its NMR data were firstly reported. Compound 3 was reported from Papaveraceae for the first time, and compound 6 was firstly reported from Corydalis yanhusuo.
