Two new aporphine glycosides, stesakine-9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) and N-methylasimilobine-2-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), were isolated from the seeds of Stephania cepharantha cultivated in Japan, together with 16 known alkaloids. The structures of 1 and 2 were spectroscopically determined by comparison of their 1H and 13C NMR data with those of stesakine (11) and N-methylasimilobine (12), respectively.
