Abstract

Over twelve alkaloids were detected in the ether-soluble alkaloid fraction of Panax ginseng roots. Among them, three alkaloids were identified as N9-formylharman, ethyl $\beta$-carboline-1-carboxylate and perlolyrine on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic studies. And also spinacine was isolated from the water-soluble fraction of the roots.
