 Canadine

("S")-Canadine, also known as ("S")-tetrahydroberberine and xanthopuccine, is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid (BIA), of the protoberberine structural subgroup, and is present in many plants from the family Papaveraceae, such as "Corydalis yanhusuo" and "C. turtschaninovii".Metabolically, ("S")-canadine is derived from ("S")-reticuline, a pivotal intermediate in the biosynthesis of numerous BIA structural subgroups, through three enzymatic steps
