HIDE SMILES / InChI
Corydaline is a pharmacologically active isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Corydalis tubers. It exhibits the antiacetylcholinesterase, antiallergic, antinociceptive, and gastric emptying activities. Corydaline exhibited strong nematocidal activity, showed little cytotoxicity and represents a potential treatment for Strongyloidiasis. Corydaline exhibits gastrointestinal modulatory, antinociceptive, anti-allergic, and anti-parasitic activities. Corydaline is currently in clinical trials as a potential treatment for functional dyspepsia. In animal models, corydaline increases gastric emptying and small intestine transit speed and induces gastric relaxation. In other animal models, corydaline inhibits chemically-induced pain. Additionally, this compound may inhibit mast cell-dependent smooth muscle contraction of the aorta. Corydaline also exhibits nematocidal activity against species of Strongyloides.
