Metabolite Identification
Common NameBerberine
DescriptionBerberine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as protoberberine alkaloids and derivatives. These are alkaloids with a structure based on a protoberberine moiety, which consists of a 5,6-dihydrodibenzene moiety fused to a quinolizinium and forming 5,6-Dihydrodibenzo(a,g)quinolizinium skeleton. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Berberine.
