Dihydroberberine (DHB) is a naturally occurring benzylisoquinoline alkaloid found in various plants, including Berberis species. It is a derivative of berberine and possesses a similar chemical structure. DHB exhibits a range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Research suggests that DHB exerts its effects through multiple mechanisms, including modulation of enzymatic activity, inhibition of inflammatory pathways, and antioxidant activity. The synthesis of DHB can be achieved through chemical reduction of berberine using various reducing agents. The compound's unique structural features and biological activities make it a promising target for further investigations in the field of drug discovery and development.'

Dihydroberberine (dhBBR) has an intestinal absorption rate 5-fold that of BBR in animals. The gut microbiota converts BBR into its absorbable form, which has enhanced bioavailability.

Class | Description |
---|---|
alkaloid | Any 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. |
