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
Alkaloids are well-studied secondary metabolites, with recent preclinical studies evidencing that many of them exhibit anti-cancer, anti-depressant, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, anti-platelet, anti-oxidant, and anti-bacterial properties. Aconitum is a genus rich of diverse
