A phytochemical investigation of the tertiary phenolic alkaloidal fraction of the stems of Chasmanthera dependens HOCHST. (Menispermaceae) has yielded the tetrahydroprotoberberine type alkaloids govanine (≡(-)-tetrahydropseudocolumbamine) [1] and coreximine [2]; the pavine type alkaloid bisnorargemonine [3] and the morphinandienone type alkaloid pallidine [4].
