Antimicrobial Alkaloids from the Tubers of Stephania succifera
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical investigation of the EtOH extract from the tubers of Stephania succifera collected in Hainan Province of China resulted in the isolation of the two new alkaloids Cepharanone D (1) and N-formyl-asimilobine (2), and a known alkaloid, N-formyl-annonain (3). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, 1D and 2D NMR). The antimicrobial activities of the three compounds were also investigated.

Different doses of ethanolic extract of Stephania glabra tuber were evaluated for antihyperglycemic activity in alloxan induced diabetic mice. The oral administration of 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg body weight showed significant hypoglycemic activity. Glibenclamide (oral hypoglycemic agent, 25 mg/kg, p.o.) has been used as standard.
