Abstract
Four new C18-diterpenoid alkaloids, weisaconitines A-D (1-4), were isolated from Aconitum weixiense. Based on extensive UV, IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR analyses, their structures were elucidated as 8-O-ethyldolaconine (1), 4-demethylgenicunine B (2), 14-oxoaconosine (3), and 8-O-ethylaconosine (4). The analgesic activity of compound 4 was studied with CH3COOH-induced writhing model in mice. Compound 4 showed writhing inhibitions of 24% (50 mg/kg), 26% (100 mg/kg) and 34% (200 mg/kg), respectively, as compared to the reference drug aspirin (63%) at a dose of 200 mg/kg.Entities:
