Abstract

Two new quinolizidine-based alkaloids (2 and 12), along with ten known ones (1, 3–11) were isolated from the roots of S. tonkinensis. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data (including NMR, MS, IR, and UV), X-ray single crystal diffraction, electronic circular dichroism analyses (ECD), and comparing with related literatures. Compounds 1, 3–12 at non-toxic concentrations exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activities according to in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory tests. Among them, (−)-anagyrine (4), sophocarpine (8), 14β-hydroxymatrine (10), and 7β-sophoramine (12) showed more potent in vitro anti-inflammatory activities, and 5α,14β-dihydroxymatrine (2), (−)-anagyrine (4), sophocarpine (8), and 5α-hydroxymatrine (9) exhibited better in vivo anti-inflammatory effects.
