[Diterpenoid alkaloids from Aconitum handelianum]

Objective: To investigate the Alkaloids from Aconitum handelianum.

Method: The column chromatographic methods were employed for the isolation and purification of the chemical constituents. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

Result: Eight diterpenoid Alkaloids were isolated and identified as acoforine (1), acoforestinine (2), 14-O-acetylsachaconitine (3), vilmorrianine C (4), vilmorrianine D (5), talatizamine (6), chasmanine (7) and yunaconitine (8).

Conclusion: All compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
