The molecule is an aporphine alkaloid that has been isolated from Corydalis and exhibits inhibitory activity against enzymes such as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase and diamine oxidase. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an EC 1.4.3.22 (diamine oxidase) inhibitor and an EC 1.14.16.2 (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase) inhibitor. It is a member of phenols, an oxacycle, an aromatic ether and an aporphine alkaloid. It derives from an aporphine. It is a conjugate base of a bulbocapnine(1+).
