Palmatine is a protoberberine alkaloid found in several plants including Phellodendron amurense, Rhizoma coptidis/Coptis Chinensis and Corydalis yanhusuo.[1]

It is the major component of the protoberberine extract from Enantia chlorantha.[2]

It has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of jaundice, dysentery, hypertension, inflammation, and liver-related diseases.[3] This compound also has weak in vitro activity against flavivirus.[4]
