Phytochemical investigation of Dactylicapnos torulosa yielded two known compounds,(-)-cis-N-methyl-stylopiumchloride and hydrastinine chloride; and five new alkaloids, dactyline, 8-hydroxydihydrosanguinarine and dactylidine, as well as dactylicapnosine and dactylicapnosinine with novel C-N-O-C moieties. All structures were elucidated by spectroscopical methods. The structure of dactylicapnosine was also determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
