Abstract excerpt
Alkaloids derived from the tetrahydrobenzylisoquinoline alkaloid (S)-N-methylcoclaurine represent a vast and varied structural array of physiologically active molecules. These compounds range from the dimeric bisbenzylisoquinolines, such as the muscle relaxant (+)-tubocurarine, to the powerful an...
