matrine, (-)-14 beta-hydroxymatrine, (+)-14 alpha-hydroxymatrine, 13,14-deh
ydrosophoranol (5 alpha-hydroxysophocarpine), (+)-sophoranol, (+)-9 alpha-h
ydroxymatrine, lamprolobine, (+)-5 alpha,9 alpha-dihydroxymatrine, (-)-bapt
ifoline, (+)-matrine N-oxide, (+)-sophocarpine N-oxide, and (+)-sophoranol
