| Description | N-Nornuciferine, an aporphine alkaloid in lotus leaf, significantly inhibits CYP2D6 (IC50: 3.76 μM, Ki: 2.34 μM). |
| In vitro | N-Nornuciferine strongly inhibits CYP2D6 activity but shows weak or no inhibition of the other four P450 isoenzymes (CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP2E1, CYP2C9). N-Nornuciferine competitively inhibits the CYP2D6-catalyzed dextromethorphan O-demethylation (Ki: 2.34 μM). |
| Target activity | CYP2D6:2.34 μM (Ki), CYP2D6:3.76 μM |
| molecular weight | 281.35 |
| Molecular formula | C18H19NO2 |
| CAS | 4846-19-9 |
| Storage | Powder: -20°C for 3 years | In solvent: -80°C for 1 year |
| Solubility | DMSO: Soluble |
