Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name TETRAHYDROPALMATINE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

(-)-Tetrahydropalmatine

Tetrahydropalmatine is a berberine alkaloid obtained by formal addition of two molecules of hydrogen to the pyridine ring of palmatine. It has a role as a non-narcotic analgesic, an adrenergic agent and a dopaminergic antagonist. It is an an (S)-7,8,13,14-tetrahydroprotoberberine, a berberine alkaloid and an organic heterotetracyclic compound. It is functionally related to a palmatine. — ChEBI
