A new dimeric aporphine from the roots of Artabotrys spinosus

A new dimeric aporphine, artabotrysine along with five known compounds was isolated from the roots of Artabotrys spinosus. Their structures were fully established on the basis of spectral evidence. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity on HeLa and KB cells.
