An alkaloid compound found in Corydalis plants, traditionally used in Asian medicine and studied by modern pharmacologists.
Directly from the genus name 'Corydalis' with the alkaloid suffix '-in.' Named in the 19th century when chemists began isolating and analyzing active compounds from these medicinal plants.
Corydalin is the 'star' alkaloid of Corydalis—it's potent enough that traditional herbalists limited how much they'd use, but modern researchers are studying it for pain relief, inflammation, and even cancer applications!
