Expert Verdict
As an isoquinoline alkaloid (molecular formula C₂₁H₂₇NO₄), it has documented pharmacological activity - it inhibits prolyl endopeptidase and platelet aggregation. CNS stimulant properties at higher systemic doses are well-documented in pharmaceutical literature. Cosmetic use at low topical concentrations is a niche application. A tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid with four methoxy groups. Exists as racemic (±) and individual (S)-(+) enantiomers. European Pharmacopoeia reference standard substance
