RESUMEN
Three aporphine-type alkaloids (1-3), three lycorine-type alkaloids (4-6), two crinane type alkaloids (7, 8) and one phenanthridine-type alkaloid (9) were isolated from the chloroform soluble fraction of 70% ethanol extract of the bulbs of Lycoris radiata through various column chromatographies over silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 and MCI. Their structures were elucidated as (+)-N-methoxylcarbonyl-1,2-methylenedioxyl-isocorydione (1), isocorydione (2), 8-demethyl-dehydrocrebanine (3), (+)-3-hydroxy-anhydrolycorine N-oxide (4), vasconine (5), pancratinine D (6), yemenine A (7), 11-O-acetylhaemanthamine (8), and 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-2-hydroxyphenanthridine (9) based on their chemical and physicochemical properlies and spectroscopic data. Compound 1 was a new compound and alkaloids 2-9 were isolated and identified from this plant for the first time.
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the culture conditions for the establishment of cell suspension culture system for Lycoris radiata callus and its alkaloid accumulation. Methods: Using the bulbs of L. radiata as explants for callus induction, calli with good quality were selected for suspension cultivation. The factors influencing the establishment of L. radiata cell suspension culture system, such as hormone, inoculum amount, inositol, and conditional culture, were investigated. The alkaloid content in cell suspension culture system of L. radiata was determined by HPLC. Results: The optimal medium for the cell suspension culture was MS+0.5 mg/L 2, 4-D+0.1 mg/L KT+300 mg/L inositol and the inoculum size was 15%. The lag phase of the cell suspension culture system could be evidently shortened by the medium of logarithmic growth. The galanthamine contents in the cell suspension culture system and the medium were 4.18 and 0.69 times of those in the bulbs of L. radiata, respectively. Conclusion: The cell suspension culture system of L. radiata is established and it is a feasible way to gain galanthamine.
RESUMEN
AIM@#To study the Amaryllidaceae alkaloids of the bulbs of Lycoris radiata.@*METHODS@#The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic techniques, and the chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. In addition, the antiviral activities of alkaloids 1-10 were evaluated using flu virus A.@*RESULTS@#One new homolycorine-type alkaloid 2α-methoxy-6-O-ethyloduline (1), together with nine known alkaloids 2α-methoxy-6-O-methyloduline (2), trispherine (3), 8-O-demethylhomolycorine (4), homolycorine (5), 9-O-demethylhomolycorine (6), oduline (7), lycorenine (8), 6α-O-methyllycorenine (9) and O-ethyllycorenine (10) were obtained.@*CONCLUSION@#Alkaloid 1 is a new compound, and 1-3 were major alkaloids in this plant. Alkaloids 1-3 showed weak antiviral activities against flu virus A with IC50 values of 2.06, 0.69, and 2.71 μg·mL-1 and CC50 values of 14.37, 4.79, and 80.12 μg·mL-1, respectively.
