Description

Stachydrine is a quaternary ammonium alkaloid found in plants, including alfalfa, spinach, and beetroots. It is a derivative of proline, synthesized from L-proline through a multi-step enzymatic pathway. Stachydrine exhibits various biological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Its potential role in plant defense mechanisms and human health has attracted research interest. Stachydrine's antioxidant activity is attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals, while its anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It is also believed to contribute to neuroprotection by reducing oxidative stress and protecting neuronal cells from damage. Ongoing research aims to explore the therapeutic potential of stachydrine in various disease conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular diseases.'

Drug Classes (3)

ClassDescription
amino-acid betaineAny amino acid-derived zwitterion - such as glycine betaine (N,N,N-trimethylammonioacetate) - in which the ammonium nitrogen carries methyl substituents and bears no hydrogen atoms.
N-methyl-L-alpha-amino acidAn non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid in which the amino group bears one or more methyl groups.
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.
