Description

Atherospermine is a naturally occurring alkaloid isolated from the bark of the Australian rainforest tree Atherosperma moschatum. It exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective effects. Its complex structure and unique pharmacological profile have led to significant interest in its potential therapeutic applications. Researchers are actively investigating its synthesis, mechanisms of action, and potential for development into novel drugs.'

atherospermine: a dimethyl-amino-phenanthrene deriv of nuciferine; alkaloid of Atherosperma moschatum; RN given refers to parent cpd; do not confuse with SPERMINE [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

Drug Classes (1)

ClassDescription
alkaloidAny of the naturally occurring, basic nitrogen compounds (mostly heterocyclic) occurring mostly in the plant kingdom, but also found in bacteria, fungi, and animals. By extension, certain neutral compounds biogenetically related to basic alkaloids are also classed as alkaloids. Amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, amino sugars and antibiotics are not normally regarded as alkaloids. Compounds in which the nitrogen is exocyclic (dopamine, mescaline, serotonin, etc.) are usually classed as amines rather than alkaloids.
