Scoulerine, also known as discretamine and aequaline, is an alkaloid found in the Opium poppy[1], Croton flavens[2], and certain plants in the Erythrina genus[3]. Studies show that scoulerine is an antagonist at the α2-adrenoceptor, α1D-adrenoceptor and 5-HT receptor[4][5]. It has also been found to be a GABAA receptor agonist[6][2].
