Aristolactam-type alkaloids and aristolochic acids from Aristolochia moupinensis and Aristolochia cathcartii

Publication date: April 2016 Source:Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 65 Author(s): Hong-Chi Zhang, Rui Liu, Zhi-peng An, Hui Li, Rui Zhang, Feng Zhou Phytochemical investigation on Aristolochia moupinensis and Aristolochia cathcartii resulted in the isolation of twelve aristolactam-type alkaloids and six aristolochic acid derivatives. Their structures were identified as aristololactam BII, 7-methoxyl-aristololactam IV, aristololactam IV, aristolactam I, aristolactam AII, aristolactam IIIa, aristolactam-N-β-D-glucoside, aristolactam C–N-β-D-glucoside, aristolochic acid I methyl ester, aristolochic acid A, aristolochic acid VI, aristolochic acid BII, aristolochic acid C, aristolactam III, aristolactam II, aristolactam A III, aristolactam A IIIa, aristolochic acid D II by comparison of their spectral data with those reported previously in the literature. Chemotaxonomic significance of this investigation was summarized.
