The aerial parts of Delphinium siwanense var: leptogen yielded two new
norditerpenoid alkaloids siwanine E and siwanine F. Their structures
were elucidated as 2,3-dehydro-16-acetylelasine and 2,3-dehydrodictyoc
arpine, respectively, on the basis of spectral methods including 1D an
d 2D NMR experiments. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
