Isolation of alkaloids and structure elucidation of lehmannine from / 中草药

ABSTRACT

To study the alkaloid constituents in the seed of Sophora alopecuroides L. and isolation of lehmannine by transhydrogenation of sophocarbine to matrine present in the mixture. Methods　Various processes of exchange, ion exchange and column chromatograph with very similar physical and chemical properties was successfully separated by transhydrogenation. Results　5 alkaloids were obtained and identified by elementary analysis, IR, MS, 1HNMR and 13CNMR as oxymatrine, oxysophoridine, matrine, sophoridine and lehmannine (12, 13-dehydromatrine). Conclusion　Lehmannine was isolated from the seed of S. alopecuroides for the first time.
