(±)-1-Benzyl-N-methyltetrahydroisoquinolines 7-10 and 11-14 with one and two hydroxy groups on the aromatic rings, respectively, were fed individually to cultured cells of Corydalis and Macleaya species, respectively. The structures of the metabolites were determined by using combinatorial techniques, including LC/NMR, LC/MS-MS, and LC/CD. The enantiomeric excesses of the metabolites were derived from LC/CD and LC/MS-MS analyses. In cell cultures of Corydalis and Macleaya species, laudanine (7), with a hydroxy group at C-3′, can form the berberine bridge at C-2′ and C-6′ to produce S- and R-enantiomers of 2,3,9,10- and 2,3,10,11-oxygenated protoberberines (20 and 21), respectively, whereas reticuline (11) and protosinomenine (12), incoporating a hydroxy group at C-3′, form the berberine bridge at C-2′ to furnish the S-enantiomer of 2,3,9,10-oxygenated protoberberines (23 and 21), respectively.

We describe the synthesis of 6,11-dihydrobenzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furane-6,11-diones, 6H-Dibenzo[c,h]chroman-6-ones and 7,12-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[c,g]chroman-5,7,12-triones from 2-(2'-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,4-dihydro-1,4-naphthalenediones or 2-phenyl-1-naphthols obtained from 2-(2'-bromophenylacetyl)-phenylacetic acids or 1-benzylisoquinolines.

Two new alkaloids, pseudorine (Ia) (quaternary benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline type) and pseudoronine (II) (benzil type), were isolated from the roots of Papaver pseudo-orientale (FEDDE) MEDW.This is a first occurence of this type of alkaloids in Papaveraceae.The main component of the tertiary alkaloid fraction was isothebaine accompanied by smaller amounts of orientalidine, mecambridine, bracteoline, nuciferine, protopine, and allocryptopine.The presence of salutaridine and papaverrubine D was established.Traces of coptisine and palmatine were also found in some samples.Strongly polar portion of the extract was converted to iodides.N-Methylisothebainium iodide (IIIa) (major component), pseudorine iodide (Ia), and corytuberine hydriodide (IV) (significant amounts), a minor alkaloids such as alborine iodide (alkaloid PO-5), pseudoronine (II), and magnoflorine iodide (IIIb) were isolated from this source.Structure of pseudorine was determined by UV, IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy and using the correlation with laudanosine and codamine.Proposed structure of pseudoronine is based on the mass spectra comparison.
