Three new diterpenoid alkaloids, dehydrocardiopetaline, 8-O-cinnamoylg
raciline and cossonine, together with cardiopetaline were isolated fro
m Delphinium cossonianum. The structures of the new alkaloids were det
ermined from chemical and spectral evidence, using selective INEPT, HM
QC, HMBC and ROESY NMR techniques.
