Abstract: Five new alkaloids, 6beta-hydroxystemofoline (1), 16-hydroxystemofoline (2), neostemofoline (3), protostemodiol (4), and 13-demethoxy-11(S*),12(R*)-dihydroprotostemonine (5), along with 10 known alkaloids, were isolated from stems and leaves of Stemona japonica. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and other spectroscopic studies. The insecticidal activity of the agonist 16-hydroxystemofoline (2) and antagonist 13-demethoxy-11(S*),12(R*)-dihydroprotostemonine (5) was demonstrated by electrophysiological in vitro tests on the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and by in vivo screenings against relevant agricultural insect pests.
