Abstract

From plants of the species Corydalis lutea (L.) DC, cultivated in the Botanical Garden in Olomouc (CSSR), a mixture of alkaloids (0.96 %) was isolated. It contained the major alkaloids coptisine and (+)–isocorydine together with adlumidiceine, adlumidiceine enollactone (aobamidine), (+)–bicuculline, (–)–corypalmine, corysamine, (–)–isocorypalmine, jatrorrhizine, 8–oxocoptisine, 6–oxosanguinarine, protopine, (–)–stylopine, and (–)–tetrahydropalmatine. The alkaloids adlumidiceine, adlumidiceine enollactone (aobamidine), (+)–bicuculline, (–)–corypalmine, corysamine, jatrorrhizine, 8–oxocoptisine, and 6–oxosanguinarine were isolated from C. lutea for the first time. The course of the splitting of the quaternary phthalideisoquinoline alkaloids with hydroxide ions is discussed.
