Four alkaloids, 11 coumarins ; and 2 neutral components were isolated from the xylem of the stem of Xanthoxylum arnottianum MAXIM. (Japanese name "Iwa-zansho"). Three of the alkaloids were confirmed with the known furoquinoline alkaloids, dictamnine (11), robustine (15), and haplopine (19). A new water-soluble quaternary base, Base II, was isolated as its picrate, C

In order to compare the physical constants, 6, 7-dihydroxy-(23), mp 242-244°, and 7, 8-dihydroxy-2, 2-dimethyl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolinium picrate (24), mp 181 -184°, were synthesized. Five coumarins, (R)-(-)-columbianetin (4), marmesin (5), rutaretin methyl ether (9), osthenol (8) and arnottinin (10), and β-sitosterol (1) and l-asarinin (2) were obtained as common consituents in the root of the same plant together with two other known coumarins, xanthyletin (3) and psoralen (18), as sole components of the stem. Peucedanol methyl ether (14), a methylated product of naturally occurring peucedanol, was isolated for the first time from a natural source. Three other new coumarins, arnottianin (12), C
