Nuciferine
Nuciferine is a compound with potential antipsychotic properties that induces feelings of calmness through mechanisms that are not yet fully understood. It has also been shown to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
This alkaloid is notable for its complex interactions with monoamine neurotransmitters. Like Apomorphine, Nuciferine can cross the blood-brain barrier easily. In the brain, it affects a broad range of serotonergic receptors and interacts with dopaminergic receptors by inhibiting dopamine transport.
Scientists believe Nuciferine may have therapeutic potential as both an antipsychotic and antidepressant.
Apomorphine
Apomorphine is a psychoactive compound that acts as a dopamine agonist, inducing feelings of happiness and euphoria. It may also aid in muscle control for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
Highly lipophilic, apomorphine easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, it functions as a dopamine receptor agonist and an antagonist at serotonergic and adrenergic receptors, but it does not interact with opioid receptors like its analogue morphine. Notably, the hydrochloride salt form of apomorphine, known as apomorphine hydrochloride, is used to treat Parkinson’s disease.

Egyptian Lily has a history of use in spiritual and meditative practices, where it is believed to enhance mindfulness, induce a sense of calm, and promote spiritual awareness. It has been used in rituals and ceremonies for these purposes.
