Synthesis and evaluation of nuciferine and roemerine enantiomers as 5-HT2 and α1 receptor antagonists

In this study, the (S)-enantiomers of the aporphine alkaloids, nuciferine and roemerine, were prepared via a synthetic route involving catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and both stereoisomers were evaluated in vitro for functional activity at human 5-HT2 and adrenergic α1 receptor subtypes using a...
