(S) -Higenamine
(S) -Higenamine, also known as (S) -Norcoclaurine, is a key biosynthetic intermediate in benzylisoquinoline alkaloid pathways. It is enzymatically formed by norcoclaurine synthase (NCS) from dopamine and 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. This compound is utilized in research on alkaloid biosynthesis, enzyme mechanisms, and metabolic studies in both plant and microbial systems.
