Description

The synthetic process for (+/-)-Higenamine was developed in a bifunctional kinetic manner. The compound is a dopamine receptor agonist and has been shown to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and TNF-α, in human cells. This agonist also has the potential to be used as an antidepressant because it binds to serotonin receptors. The chemical structure of (-)-Higenamine can be found in the crystallographic data section.
