Also known as (3S)-6,7-dimethoxy-3-[(5R)-6-methyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl]-3H-2-benzofuran-1-one, hydrastine

Hydrastine is an isoquinoline alkaloid which was discovered in 1851 by Alfred P. Durand. Nitric acid induced hydrolysis of hydrastine yields hydrastinine, which was patented by Bayer as a haemostatic drug in the early 1900s. It is present in Hydrastis canadensis (thus the name) and other plants of the family Ranunculaceae.
