Bioassay-directed fractionation of a root extract of Acronychia laurifolia (Rutaceae) using the KB-V1+ human tumor cell line led to the isolation of six quinoline alkaloids. One of these alkaloids is novel, namely, 2,3-methylenedioxy-4,7-dimethoxyquinoline and the other five were identified as the

OBJECTIVE To investigate the quinoline alkaloids from the roots of Dictamnus angustifolius G.Don ex Sweet (Rutaceae). METHODS The quinoline alkaloids were isolated by various column chromatographic methods and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis. RESULTS A new

Three limonoids and five alkaloids were isolated from the chloroform layer of the MeOH extract of the bark of Phellodendron amurense (Rutaceae). The structures of the compounds isolated were determined to be obacunone (1), limonin (2), 12alpha-hydroxylimonin (3), gamma-fagarine (4), oxyberberine

Bioassay-guided fractionation of Haplophyllum canaliculatum Boiss. (Rutaceae) extract resulted in isolation of five quinoline alkaloids: 7-isopentenyloxy-gamma-fagarine, atanine, skimmianine, flindersine and perfamine. This is the first isolation of these compounds from this endemic species. The

Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC. (ZN) belongs to the genus Zanthoxylum of Rutaceae and has various chemical ingredients and pharmacologic effects. Alkaloids are its main active constituents responsible for diverse pharmacologic effects, such as anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and

Further to a systematic chemotaxonomic study of Uzbek Haplophyllum A. Juss. plants selected on ethnopharmacological data, 14 alkaloids were screened for their cytotoxic properties. As a first selection for interesting compounds, each alkaloid was tested against two human cancer cell lines (HeLa and
