actinodaphnine/illigera aromatica

Illigera aromatica S. Z. Huang et S. L. Mo and Illigera henryi W. W. Sm., belonging to the genus Illigera (Hernandiaceae), are used as herbal medicines for promoting blood circulation and treating tuberculosis. Actinodaphnine, the major bioactive alkaloid, plays an important role in the quality

Illigera aromatica was fermented by Clonostachys rogersoniana. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory effects of unfermented and fermented I. aromatica revealed that C. rogersoniana-fermented I. aromatica (CFIA) induced significantly more AChE inhibitory activity (IC₅₀: 35.4 ± 2.1

Three new monoterpene phenylpropionic acid esters, illigerates A-C (1-3), and one new aporphine alkaloid, illigeranine (4), as well as four known ones, actinodaphnine (5), nordicentrine (6), 8-hydroxy carvacrol (7), and 3-hydroxy-α,4-dimethyl styrene (8), were isolated from the tubers of Illigera

Two new monoterpene esters illigerates F and G (1 and 2) together with 5 know compounds illigerate A (3), illigerate C (4), actinodaphnine (5), N-methylactinodaphnine(6) and N-methyllaurotetanine(7) were isolated from Illigera aromatica S. Z.
