Scoulerine, also known as discretamine and aequaline, is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that derives from reticuline and is a precursor of berberine. It is found in many plants, including Opium poppy,^[1] Croton flavens,^[2] and certain plants in the Erythrina genus.^[3]

Studies show that scoulerine is an antagonist in vitro at the α₂-adrenoceptor, α_1D-adrenoceptor and 5-HT receptor.^[4]^[5] It has also been found to be a GABA_A receptor agonist in vitro.^[2]^[6]
