The alkaloid components in the root of Codonopsis lanceolata were studied. From the ether soluble alkaloid fraction, four $\beta$-carboline alkaloids were isolated in crystalline state by chromatographic purification process; comp. I mp $178^{\circ}$, isolated yield 4.5$\times$$10^{-5}%$, comp. II mp $166^{\circ}$, 6.0$\times$$10^{-5}%$, comp. III mp $164^{\circ}$, 1.8$\times$$10^{-4}%$ and comp. IV mp $197^{\circ}$, 3.5$\times$$10^{-5}%$. They were identified by spectral analysis and by total synthesis as being a new component $N_9$-formylharman, and already known components in other plant 1-carbomethoxy-$\beta$-carboline, perlolyrine and norharman.
