Cytotoxic Alkaloids from Hippeastrum solandriflorum Lindl.

One new alkaloid, 2α-10bα-dihydroxy-9-O-demethylhomolycorine, in addition to seven others known alkaloids, and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, piscidic acid and eucomic acid, were isolated from the bulbs of Hippeastrum solandriflorum. The structures of all compounds were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques: 1H NMR and 13C NMR, heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), and also the high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EI-HRMS). The cytoto...
