Ester hydrolysis differentially reduces aconitine-induced anti-hypersensitivity and acute neurotoxicity: Involvement of spinal microglial dynorphin expression and implications for Aconitum processing

Aconitines, including bulleyaconitine A, probably the most bioactive and abundant alkaloids in Aconitum plant, are a group of diester C19-diterpenoid alkaloids with one acetylester group attached to C8 of the diterpenoid skeleton and one benzoylester group to C14. Hydrolysis of both groups is involv...
