Canadine is a protoberberine alkaloid which potently block functional KATP channels natively expressed on midbrain dopamine neurons. Canadine is used for treatment of degenerative diseases or conditions associated with KATP channel signaling.
Tetrahydroberberine is a protoberberine alkaloid which potently block functional KATP channels natively expressed on midbrain dopamine neurons. Tetrahydroberberine is used for treatment of degenerative diseases or conditions associated with KATP channel signaling.
ChEBI: A berberine alkaloid that is 5,8,13,13a-tetrahydro-6H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquino[3,2-a]isoquinoline substituted by methoxy groups at positions 9 and 10.
Dopamine receptor antagonist; nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2, α4β4, α7, α1β, 1γδ) modulator; induces clearance of low-density lipoprotein in mice.
Tetrahydroberberine (Canadine), an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from corydalis tuber, is a potent dopamine D2 receptor antagonist (pKi = 6.08) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2, α4β4, α7, α1β, 1γδ) modulator. Tetrahydroberberine alleviates high-f at diet-induced hyperlipidemia and induces clearance of low-density lipoprotein and intermediate-density lipoprotein in mice.
