Hypaphorine(CAT:R072547) is an indole-derived alkaloid, specifically an N,N,N-trimethyltryptophan betaine, found in plants such as Erythrina species and in some marine organisms. It exhibits a wide range of pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and neuromodulatory effects. Studies suggest hypaphorine can modulate glucose metabolism, influence lipid regulation, and exert protective effects against oxidative stress. It has also been linked to immunomodulatory activity by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. With its diverse bioactivities, Hypaphorine is a valuable research compound in natural product chemistry, metabolic disease research, and neuropharmacology, supporting studies on plant-derived therapeutics and novel bioactive alkaloids.
