From stem and roots of Arcangelisia flava six quaternary alkaloids, thalifendine, dehydrocorydalmine, jatrorrhizine, pycnarrhine, berberine and palmatine and three tertiary alkaloids, hydroxy-berberine, limacine and homoaromoline, have been isolated and identified by their spectral data.The genus Arcangelisia belongs, together with the genera Coscinium and Anamirta, to the tribe Coscieae of the Menispermaceae. The genus Arcangelisia comprises two species (Forman, 1). A. flava (L.) Merr is a liana found in South-East Asia. A. tympanopoda (Lauberb. & K. Schum.) Diels is a liana found so far only in New-Guinea. The two species are differentiated by the size of the fruits, the latter one having larger fruits thanthe former. Various medicinal uses of A. flava havebeen reported: as a febrifuge, tonic, abortive, expectorant and emmanogogue and against hepatitis and indigestion (Santos (2), van Steenis (3), Kondo (4), Estrada el al.(5), Quisumbing (6)). Wells (7) reported the presence of berberine in the stem of A. flava. Santos (2) identified berberine, jatrorrhizine and columbamine and isolated an alkaloid which was called “shobakunine”. This was later shown to be a mixture of palmatine and berberine (8). Garcia et al.(9) detected berberine, palmatine and jatrorrhizine inthe stem and berberine and jatrorrhizine in the roots of A. loureirii Diels (a synonym for A. flava (1)).
