Lancifoliaine, a New Bisbenzylisoquinoline from the Bark of Litsea lancifolia

A new bisbenzylisoquinoline, lancifoliaine (1), together with seven known alkaloids – N-allyllaurolitsine (2), reticuline (3), actinodaphnine, norboldine, pallidine, cassythicine and boldine – were isolated from the stem bark of Litsea lancifolia (Lauraceae). In addition to that of lancifoliaine, co...
