Acoapetaludines A-K, C20 and C19-diterpenoid alkaloids from the whole plants of Aconitum apetalum (Huth) B.Fedtsch

A C20-diterpenoid alkaloid with an unprecedented carbon skeleton, acoapetaludine A, together with ten undescribed aconitine-type C19-diterpenoid alkaloids, acoapetaludines B–K, were isolated from the whole plants of Aconitum apetalum (Huth) B. Fedtsch. (Ranunculaceae). The structures were elucidated based on a comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute configuration of acoapetaludine A was determined by quantum ECD calculation. Acoapetaludines D and E exhibited weak anti-Helicobacter pylori activity at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 100 and 50 μg/mL, respectively.
