Description

Quebrachamine is an indole alkaloid found in the bark of the quebracho tree (Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco). It has shown a variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-malarial activity. Its synthesis has been explored using various methods, including biomimetic approaches. Research interest in quebrachamine stems from its potential therapeutic applications and its unique chemical structure, which has inspired the development of novel synthetic methods. Its complex structure and biological activity make it a valuable target for studying the relationship between chemical structure and biological function.'

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.
