Abstract

A novel steroidal alkaloid, suchengbeisine (1), along with two known steroidal alkaloids, N-oxide of verticinone (2) and zhebeininoside (3), were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria shuchengensis S. C. Chen et S. F. Yin. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by intensive spectroscopic methods, including NMR, IR, CD and MS.
