Cinchonine

Cinchonine is an alkaloid found in Cinchona officinalis. It is used in asymmetric synthesis in organic chemistry. It is a stereoisomer and pseudo-enantiomer of cinchonidine.

It is structurally similar to quinine, an antimalarial drug.

It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist and therefore has potential as a possible treatment for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
