RESUMEN
To study alkaloid constituents in Corydalis decumbens,thirteen compounds were isolated from 95％ ethanol extracts of Corydalis decumbens (Thunb) Pers.by silica gel,RP-C1s,Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographer,recry stallization,thin-layer chromatography and HPLC.Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data combined with physiochemical properties as tetrahydropalmatine (1),oxyhydrastinine (2),doryanine (3),palmatine (4),bicuculline (5),canadine (6),tetrahydrocoptisine(7),corydaldine (8),epicorynoxidine (9),N-methylcorydaldine (10),(+)-corlumine (11),N-methyl-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolone (12) and oxysanguinarine (13).Compounds 2,3,6,7,and 9-13 were isolated from this plant for the first time.In addition,compounds 2,3,and 9-13 were obtained firstly from this genus.Pharmacological experiments showed that tetrahydropalmatine (1) might have analgesic or sedative effects,and the bicuculline (5) could probably induce epilepsy.
