Five alkaloids, 5,6‐dihydro‐6‐methoxynitidine ( 1 ), dictamnine ( 2 ), γ ‐fagarine ( 3 ), skimmianine ( 4 ), and 5‐methoxydictamnine ( 5 ), were isolated from the roots of Zanthoxylum nitidum. Their structures and configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and X‐ray analysis. Compounds 1, 4 , and 5 showed in vitro antiviral effect against hepatitis B virus, and compounds 2, 3 , and 5 demonstrated marked antimitotic and antifungal activity.
