| Description | Juzirine is a member of the class of benzylisoquinolines. Benzylisoquinolines are organic compounds containing an isoquinoline to which a benzyl group is attached. Juzirine, practically insoluble (in water), is a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Juzirine can exist in fruits, which can be used as a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Juzirine is an alkaloid from the leaves of Zizyphus jujuba (Chinese date). |
