“…Plants of the genus Leontice or Gymnospermium have been known to contain quinolizidine alkaloids, benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, and triterpene saponins, and some activity such as antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and anti-inflammatory have also been reported [1][2][3][4]. In our research for structurally and biologically interesting natural products [5][6][7], we isolated a new benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, lincangenine-4--D-glucopyranoside (1, Figure 1a), from the roots of L. altaica, together with five known alkaloids, tembetarine [8], magnoflorine [9], N-methylcytisine, Nmethyllaudanidine [10], and oblongine [11].…”
