Biochem/physiol Actions

Dopamine receptor antagonist; nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2, α4β4, α7, α1β, 1γδ) modulator; induces clearance of low-density lipoprotein in mice.

Tetrahydroberberine (Canadine), an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from corydalis tuber, is a potent dopamine D2 receptor antagonist (pKi = 6.08) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2, α4β4, α7, α1β, 1γδ) modulator. Tetrahydroberberine alleviates high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia and induces clearance of low-density lipoprotein and intermediate-density lipoprotein in mice.

Because delayed gastric emptying and impaired gastric accommodation are regarded as pathophysiological mechanisms underlying functional dyspepsia (FD), prokinetics and fundic relaxants have been suggested as a new treatment for FD. We isolated tetrahydroberberine (THB), an isoquinoline alkaloid (5,8,13,13a-tetrahydro-9,10-dimethoxy-6H-benzo[g]-1,3-benzodioxolo[5,6-a]quinolizine) from Corydalis

The promotion of excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL) clearance stands as an effective clinical approach for treating hyperlipidemia. Tetrahydroberberine, a metabolite of berberine, exhibits superior bioavailability compared to berberine and demonstrates a pronounced hypolipidemic effect. Despite these characteristics, the impact of
