Boldine
Boldine is an alkaloid of the aporphine class that can be found in the boldo tree. It is the most abundant aporphine alkaloid found in Boldo.[1] Boldine is also found in Lindera aggregata.[2]

Pharmacology
Boldine has been investigated for its cyto-protective, anti-tumour promoting, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-atherogenic effect and is particularly believed to be a strong antioxidant.[3][4]
Boldine has shown nootropic activity in mice, specifically by significantly improving learning and memory. [5]
Boldine has shown antiepileptic activity in mice against seizures induced by Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ). [6]
Boldine protects against paracetamol induced liver inflammation and acute hepatic necrosis in mice. [7]
Boldine is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.[8] 5-HT3A antagonists have been shown to help prevent nausea and vomiting as well as the negative effects of serotonin in the G.I tract. [9][10]
Glaucine is structurally related to Boldine. Glaucine is a dimethyl ether analog of Boldine.
Topical use of DiAcetyl-Boldine in the form of a microemulsion has been studied for chemoprotection against Melanoma.[11]
