| Description | Berberine, also known as coptis rhizome, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as protoberberine alkaloids and derivatives. These are alkaloids with a structure based on a protoberberine moiety, which consists of a 5,6-dihydrodibenzene moiety fused to a quinolizinium and forming 5,6-Dihydrodibenzo(a,g)quinolizinium skeleton. Oxidation of the tertiary amine then occurs and an iminium ion is formed. 2. Dopamine 1 then reacts with 4-hydroxy-phenylacetaldehyde 2 to form (S)-norcolaurine 3 in a reaction similar to the Mannich reaction. The alkaloid berberine has a tetracyclic skeleton derived from a benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline system with the incorporation of an extra carbon atom provided by S-adenosyl methionine via an N-methyl group. 8 (S)-canadine is then oxidized to give the quaternary isoquinolinium system of berberine. Berberine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Berberine is a bitter tasting compound. Outside of the human body,. Reticuline is known as the immediate precursor of protoberberine alkaloids in plants. Its potential for causing adverse effects is high, including untoward interactions with prescription drugs, reducing the intended effect of established therapies. |
