Atherosperminine（Atherospermine）is a nature occurring alkaloid, has antiplasmodial activities in vitro, with an IC50 of 5.80 μM. Atherosperminine is good reductants with the ability to chelate metals and presented pro-oxidant activity. Atherosperminine exerts a non-specific relaxant effect on the trachealis[1].
