CAS 22672-77-1

(-)-Higenamine

Description:

(-)-Higenamine, with the CAS number 22672-77-1, is a naturally occurring alkaloid primarily found in various plant species, including the Aconitum and Nandina genera. It is characterized by its chiral structure, which contributes to its biological activity. This compound is known for its potential stimulant effects, often associated with increased heart rate and enhanced athletic performance. (-)-Higenamine acts as a beta-adrenergic agonist, which means it can stimulate beta receptors in the body, leading to effects such as bronchodilation and increased lipolysis. Additionally, it has garnered interest in the fields of sports nutrition and weight management. The substance is typically available in various forms, including powders and extracts, and is often marketed as a dietary supplement. However, its safety and efficacy in humans require further research, as regulatory status may vary by region. As with any bioactive compound, it is essential to consider potential side effects and interactions with other substances.
