Stellaria dichotoma L.

Dichotomoside A is a neolignan glycoside. Dichotomoside A can be isolated from the roots of Stellaria dichotoma L. var. lanceolata.

Dichotomine D is a β-carboline alkaloid found in the roots of Stellaria dichotoma. Dichotomine D acts as an antiallergic agent. Dichotomine D is promising for research of type I allergic reactions.

Dichotomine C ((R)-(-)-Dichotomine C) is a β-carboline-type alkaloid with antiallergic effects. Dichotomine C inhibits the release of β-hexosaminidase in RBL-2H3 cells with an IC₅₀ of 62 μM. Dichotomine C inhibits the releases of antigen-IgE-mediated TNF-α and IL-4 in RBL-2H3 cells with IC₅₀s of 19 μM and 15 μM, respectively. Dichotomine C can be used for the study of type I allergic reactions.

Dichotomine E is a β-carboline alkaloid that can be isolated from the root of Stellaria dichotoma var. lanceolata. Dichotomine E has anti-inflammatory property for the inhibition of NO production in LPS (HY-D1056)-treated RAW264.7 cells.

Dichotomine A ((S)-(-)-Dichotomine A) is a β-carboline-type alkaloid found in the roots of Stellaria dichotoma.
