Seventeen quaternary protoberberine alkaloids related to berberine 1 were tested for antimalarial activity in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum and structure-activity relationships are proposed. The activity of the protoberberine alkaloids was influenced by the type of the oxygen substituents on rings A, C and D and the position of the oxygen functions on ring D. The position of the oxygen functions on ring D and the type of the oxygen substituents at the C-13 position (ring C) strongly influenced the activity. Shifting the oxygen functions at C-9 and C-10 to C-10 and C-11 on ring D resulted in a significant increase in the activity. Compounds bearing a methylenedioxy function at C-2 and C-3 (ring A) or C-9 and C-10 (ring D) showed higher activity than those which have methoxy groups at the same positions. Introduction of a methoxy group into the C-1 position (ring A) decreased the activity. Replacement of a hydroxy group at C-2 or C-3 (ring A) by a methoxy group led to a reduction in the activity. Displacement of a hydroxy function at C-13 (ring C) by the oxygen substituents such as OMe, OEt, OCOOEt, and OCON(Me)2 reduced the activity. In the same replacement at C-9 (ring D), the activity depended upon the type of the oxygen function. Six protoberberines displayed more potent activity than berberine 1. The activity decreased in the order: 10, 11, 17 and 18 > 7 and 8 > 1.

The invention discloses application of tetrahydroproberberine compounds to prepare antidepressants. Experiments confirm that tetrahydroproberberine compounds are capable of effectively shortening the swimming motionless time of a depression-model mouse, obviously shortening the tail suspending accumulative motionless time of a depression-model mouse and obviously improving the depression state caused by reserpine of a mouse, and show certain anti-depression effect.
