Abstract: Three new diterpene alkaloids, tangutidines A-C (1-3), and four known alkaloids (4-7) were isolated from the whole plant of Aconitum tanguticum, from which amphoteric diterpene alkaloids (1-3) were obtained for the first time. The structures of 1-3 were elucidated by detailed interpretation of spectroscopic data, including MS and NMR data. All of them were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities.

Key words: Aconitum tanguticum, Amphoteric diterpene alkaloids, Tangutidine, Cytotoxic activity
