A new denudatine-type C-diterpenoid alkaloid, pubesine (1), along with seven known diterpenoid alkaloids, altaconitine (2), 14-benzoylaconine (3), spicatine A (4), 14-benzoylaconine-8-palmitate (5), 14-O-acetylsenbusine A (6), senbusine A (7) and 14-acetylneoline (8) were isolated from the whole plant of Aconitum soongaricum var. pubescens. Their structures were elucidated by means of extensive spectroscopic analyses (NMR and HR-ESI-MS) and comparison with data reported in the literature. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against H460, MCF-7 and Hep G2 human cancer cell lines.

One new diterpenoid alkaloid, pubescensine (1), along with nine known diterpenoid alkaloids (2-10) were isolated from the roots of Aconitum soongaricum var. pubescens. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and comparison with previously reported data. All the compounds were evaluated for their antifeedant activities. The aconitine-type diterpenoid alkaloids (1-6) showed considerably potent antifeedant activity (EC 50 < 1 mg/cm 2), while the activities of napelline-type diterpenoid alkaloids (compds. 7, 9 and 10) were not significant (EC 50 > 50 mg/cm 2).
