Abstract

A new C20-diterpenoid alkaloid handelidine (1) and twenty-seven known Alkaloids (2-28) were isolated from the roots of Aconitum handelianum. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. The study indicated that denudatine-type C20-diterpenoid Alkaloids with vicinal-triol system and benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline Alkaloids exhibited significant antioxidant activities measured by three antioxidant test systems. The aconitine-type C19-diterpenoid Alkaloids could serve as potential secondary antioxidants for their strong binding effects to metal ions.
