Abstract
Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, nelumboferine which was recently isolated from the embryo of Nelumbo nucifera, and stereoisomers of neferine, which is a major alkaloid of the embryo of N. nucifera, were stereoselectively synthesized. Pharmacological activity of nelumboferine, stereoisomers of neferine, liensinine, isoliensinine, and O-methylneferine were evaluated.
