ricinine

Ricinine (1,2-Dihydro-4-methoxy-1-methyl-2-oxonicotinonitrile) is a major alkaloid in Ricinus communis plant with hepatoprotection in CCl4 -induced liver damage.

Ricinine (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving Ricinine. Ricinine (1,2-Dihydro-4-methoxy-1-methyl-2-oxonicotinonitrile) is a major alkaloid in Ricinus communis plant with hepatoprotection in CCl4 -induced liver damage.

N-Demethylricinine (4-Methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile) was reported as xanthine oxidase inhibitor.

1. Palmatine (Burasaine) is an inhibitor of dopamine generation. 2. Palmatine could potentially be developed for the treatment of flavivirus infections. 3. Palmatine has been used in the treatment of jaundice, dysentery, hypertension, inflammation, and liver-related diseases.

Mallorepine may propably be an intermediate on the biosynthetic pathway from nicotinamide (II) to ricinine (III).
