From the bark of Zanthoxylum tsihanimposa (Rutaceae) 5 furoquinoline and benzophenanthridine alkaloids were isolated. Three are known compounds: γ-fagarine, skimmianine and dihydrochelerythrinylacetone. The other two, dihydrochelerythrinylacetaldehyde and O-methyldihydrochelerythrinyl-acetone, are probably artefacts. © 1974.
