Abstract
Two new benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids, 6-methyldihydrochelerythrine {1} and 6-methylnorchelerythrine {2}, together with 23 known compounds, were isolated from the root bark of Zanthoxylum simulans. Structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Among them, the pyranoquinoline alkaloids, zanthosimuline {3} and huajiaosimuline {4}, exhibited cytotoxic activity. In addition, compound 4 showed significant antiplatelet aggregation activity and induced terminal differentiation with cultured HL-60 cells.
