Abstract
Abstract Phytochemical investigation of the atemoya aerial parts was carried out by LC-MS-IT and cytotoxic activities were evaluated as well. These results led to the identification of a new N-oxide alkaloid (dehydroanomuricine-N-oxide) and eight other alkaloids: scoulerine, reticuline, isocorydine, norisocorydine, asimilobine, nornuciferine, anonaine, and liriodenine. The new alkaloid dehydroanomuricine-N-oxide and anomuricine were also isolated. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. The cytotoxic capacity of crude methanolic extract and the alkaloidal fraction were evaluated, showing moderate cytotoxicity. The isolation and identification of these alkaloids are an important contribution to the chemotaxonomy of the genus Annona and the Annonaceae family.
