The MeOH extract of Corydalis clarkei Prain yielded two tetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids that bear the unusual 1, 2-and 9, 10-tetraoxygenated substitution pattern observed previouslyonly in caseanidine (10). The alkaloids have been identified as caseanidine (1) and the new alkaloid, clarkeanidine (2). The* H-and l3C-nmr shifts of both alkaloids have been assigned unambiguously using 2-D nmr. The elucidation of the structure of 2 was achieved by comparison of the* H-and 13C-nmr spectra of 2 with those of caseanidine coupled with addi-tional spectroscopic evidence.Corydalis clarkei Prain is the first of a number of Tibetan medicinal plants (1, 2) col-lected in the summer of 1984 (3) to be investigated chemically. In conjunction with other plants, it is purportedly employed to treat “high blood pressure”(4), although as yet, no evidence for its effectiveness has been obtained. It is one of approximately 25 Corydalis species that grow in the Himalayan region at an altitude of 12,000-15,000 feet (5, 6).
