Chemical compound
Salsolidine , also known as 6,7-dimethylsalsolinol , O -methylsalsolinenorcarnegine , is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in various cactus species.[ 1] [ 2] pharmacologically active .[ 1] potent monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), specifically of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) ((R )-enantiomer Ki = 6 μM), among other actions.[ 1] [ 3]
