Chemical investigation of Stephania rotunda Lour. growing in Viet Nam led to the isolation and structural elucidation of three new alkaloids, 5-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (1), thaicanine 4-O-β-L-glucoside (6), as well as (–)-thaicanine N-oxide (4-hydroxycorynoxidine) (8), along with 23 known alkaloids. These structures were determined on the basis of MS and NMR spectroscopic data.

2,4-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-6H-pyran-3-one (1), a hitherto unknown natural product, and the calcium salt of rehmapicroside (2) have been isolated from rhizomes of the Vietnamese variety of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch together with a series of known compounds: norcarotenoids (3–5), 2-formyl-5-hydroxymethylfurane (6), the iridoid rehmaglutin D (7), iridoid glycosides (8–12) and phenylethyl alcohol glycosides (13–17). Their structures were determined by mass and NMR spectroscopy.
