Stemona alkaloids isolated from Stemona tuberosa roots and their inhibitory activity on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production

چکیده
Abstract: A methanol extract of the roots of Stemona tuberosa (Stemonaceae) significantly inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in murine BV2 microglial cells. Eight alkaloids tuberostemonine K (1), neotuberostemonine (2), oxotuberostemonine (3), bisdehydroneotuberostemonine (4), epibisdehydrotuberostemonine J (5), bisdehydrotuberostemonine (6), tuberostemoninol (7), and neostenine (8) were isolated from the methanolic extract using bioactivity-guided fractionation. Among them, compounds 4, 5 and 6 showed significant inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in BV2 microglia at 100 M.

Two New Alkaloids from Roots of Stemona tuberosa
The roots of Stemona tuberosa have been used as an antitussive and insecticide remedy for thousands of years. On the chemical investigation of the roots of S. tuberosa, two new tuberostemonine-type alkaloids, epoxy-tuberostemonol (1), and neotuberostemoenone (2), together with a known alkaloid, neotuberostemonine, were isolated and identified. The structures of new alkaloids were established on...
