RESUMO
Thirteen new benzamide alkaloids, delphiniumines A-M (1-13), together with one known analogue (14), were isolated from Delphinium anthriscifolium Hance. All of the structures were determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses. Absolute configuration for 1 was established using experimental and calculated ECD data, as well as by X-ray crystallography analysis. Compound 1 possesses a previously undescribed polysubstituted cyclopentene carbon framework. Compound 2 was isolated as an artifact from 1 during the extraction process. Compound 7 is glycosylated with a ß-D-glucose unit. Compound 13 bears a chlorine substituent. At a concentration of 10 µM, compounds 6, 8, and 10-12 suppressed LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells with inhibition rates ranging from 40.3% to 78.8%.

Two previously undescribed flavonols with phenylpropanoid or benzyl substitution, named alangsine A (1), and alangsine B (2), together with four known compounds (3-6) were isolated from the leaves of Alangium chinense. Alangsine A was a racemic mixture, which was further separated into two enantiomers via high-performance liquid chromatography on a chiral column. The absolute configurations of the enantiomer pairs were deduced from the circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The activity of the isolated compounds towards neuronal excitability was examined.
