Abstract
The chemical study of the acidic extract of Phaeanthus vietnamensis leaves led to the isolation of one new alkaloid, vietnamine A (1) and eight known alkaloids (R,S)-2N-norberbamunine (2), grisabine (3), 1S,1′R,O,O′-dimethylgrisabine (4), dauricine (5), neothalibrine (6), vietnamine (7), xylopine (8), and argentinine (9) by NMR and MS and comparing with the data reported in the literature. Compounds 1–9 were evaluated for inhibitory NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, LPS-stimulated. Compounds 1–3 significantly inhibited on NO production with the IC50 values of 6.8 ± 0.9, 9.8 ± 1.0, and 7.1 ± 0.4 µg/ml, respectively.
