Benzylisoquinoline Alkaloids
The benzylisoquinoline alkaloids are natural products that can be classified as isoquinoline alkaloids and are derived from benzylisoquinoline. They also include the benzyl(tetrahydro)isoquinoline alkaloids. Occurrence Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids are found in several Plant family, plant families, including the poppy family (Papaveraceae), the Annonaceae, annonaceae family, and the laurel family. Well-known representatives are primarily found in poppy plants, specifically those from which opium is derived, as well as in Actaea (plant), actaea. For instance, reticuline has been isolated from Annona reticulata. Known representatives Over 2500 biologically active derivatives are known from the benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.Bettina Ruff: ''Chemical and Biochemical Methods for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Complex Natural Products'', 199 pages, Verlag Logos Berlin (2012), ISBN 978-3-8325-3121-8, pp. 8 (). Based on their structure, the compounds can be divided into nume ...
