title: [Studies on the alkaloids of Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study alkaloids of Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong.
  
  
  METHODS
  The rapid resolution liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RRLC-ESI-MS/MS) was used to analyse alkaloids of Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong, and senkirkine was isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Four alkaloids were identified as senkirkine, dehydrosenkirkine, monocrotaline and adonifoline, and senkirkine was firstly isolated from Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Senkirkine is the main component of Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong.
