chelidonine
Chelidonine is an alkaloid found in the greater celandine plant (Chelidonium majus). It belongs to the isoquinoline alkaloid class. While the plant has a long history of traditional medicinal use, scientific research into the specific effects and properties of chelidonine is ongoing. Studies have explored its potential pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antispasmodic properties in vitro and in animal models. However, much of this research is preliminary and requires further investigation to establish efficacy and safety in humans.
The chemical structure of chelidonine is characterized by a benzo[c]phenanthridine skeleton. It is one of several
