What it is Filled

Dauricine is a naturally occurring bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid found in Menispermum dauricum and investigated for its effects on ion channels and cellular signalling.

In scope

  • Molecular identity, stereochemistry and authoritative identifier mappings
  • Free-base identity and relationships to salts, solvates and protonated forms
  • Sample purity, related alkaloids, contaminants and analytical confirmation
  • Physical state, dissolution, concentration and stability under recorded conditions
  • Experimental biological activity, metabolic activation and hazard evidence with explicit applicability limits

Out of scope

  • Botanical taxonomy, cultivation and whole-plant medicinal properties
  • The full composition and effects of extracts containing dauricine
  • Manufacturing and extraction process design
  • Independent models of dauricine metabolites and related alkaloids
  • Finished medicinal products, clinical treatment protocols and prescribing decisions

Why it exists Filled

Enable an agent to recognise dauricine, assess the identity and condition of a supplied sample, and determine whether its evidence and handling constraints support a proposed research use.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Match a structure-resolved record to the bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid dauricine, PubChem CID 73400, with formula C38H44N2O6; a name match alone is insufficient. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Dauricine)
  • Verify the reference structure's ether connectivity, methoxy and phenolic substitution pattern, and stereochemistry; formula or nominal mass alone cannot distinguish structural or stereochemical alternatives. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Dauricine)
  • Require reference-supported chromatographic and structural evidence to distinguish dauricine from related alkaloids such as daurisoline.
  • Establish whether the material is the free base, a salt or a mixture before applying identifiers, molecular-weight calculations or purity claims.
  • Distinguish unchanged dauricine from its metabolic products and adducts; quinone-methide-related metabolites have been investigated in human liver microsomes and rat bile. [Primary study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19358519/)

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Recommend dauricine or plant extracts containing it as a treatment for a person.
  • Present laboratory or animal findings as proven effects in people.
  • Label a plant extract as pure dauricine without analysis.
  • Dispose of it in drains or general waste.

Only with a human decision

  • Using it in any study involving people or animals.
  • Adding it to products intended for people.

May

  • Identify dauricine as an alkaloid of Menispermum dauricum and describe research on it, citing sources.
  • Report the source, purity and storage of a held sample.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Alkaloids active on heart ion channels can cause harm if used without evidence.
  • Herbal claims can mislead patients away from effective care.
