A new colchinoid compound, identified as N-deacetyl-N-formylcornigerine (1), named glorigerine was isolated from the roots of Gloriosa superba, along with two known compounds. The structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by 1 D and 2 D NMR and HRMS experiments. Glorigerine (1) differed from cornigerine (6) by the presence of an N-formyl group instead of the N-acetyl group. Glorigerine (1) was found to have moderate cytotoxicity when tested against four human cancer cell lines.
