Abstract: In this study,aporphine(AP)-type alkaloids were isolated from Stephania dicentrinifera H.S.Lo & M.Yang by silica gel column chromatography.Their structures were identified by TLC,UV,NMR,MS, etc.The acute toxicity of 3 obtained alkaloids [Dicentrinone(Dico)and Dicentrine(Dic)of AP-type alkaloids, Tetrahydropalmatine(Tet) of Protoberberine(PBB)-type alkaloids] was then investigated using the method of tail vein injection in mice,their LD50's were calculated by Bliss method.The experimental results showed that the LD50 values of Dico,Dic and Isocorydine(Isoc)were 7.266 mg/kg,26.802 mg/kg and 32.167 mg/kg,respectively.Dico was separated from S.dicentrinifera for the first time,and its acute toxicity was higher than Dic and Isoc.
