Diterpenoid alkaloids from the roots of Aconitum cochleare

Abstract

From the roots Aconitum cochleare Woroschin, collected in Turkey, a new diterpenoid alkaloid named acochlearine has been isolated along with the known diterpenoid alkaloids talatisamine, 14-O-acetyltalatisamine, senbusine C and condelphine. The structure for acochlearine was established on the basis of 1H, 13C, DEPT, homonuclear 1H COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC NMR studies.
