  • Title: Antiplatelet of vasorelaxing actions of some benzylisoquinoline and phenanthrene alkaloids.
    Author: Chen KS, Ko FN, Teng CM, Wu YC.
    Journal: J Nat Prod; 1996 May; 59(5):531-4. PubMed ID: 8778245.
    Abstract:
    Members of a series of benzylisoquinoline and phenanthrene alkaloids were tested for their antiplatelet and vasorelaxing actions. Atherosperminine HClO4 (15) and atherosperminium I (16) showed strong inhibition of adenosine 5'-diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation. dl-N-Methylcoclaurine (1), dl-coclaurine (6), 15, 16, xylopine hydroxylamine (18), and atherosperminine N-oxide (19) showed strong inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation. Compounds 1, 15, 16, dicentrine methine (17), 18, and 19 showed strong inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation. d-(-)-Magnocurarine I (8), 15, and 16 showed strong inhibition of platelet-activating factor-induced platelet aggregation. Compounds 15, 17, and 19 showed vasorelaxing action in rat thoracic aorta.
