Coclaurine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist^{[citation needed]} which has been isolated from a variety of plant sources including Nelumbo nucifera, Sarcopetalum harveyanum,^[1] Ocotea duckei,^[2] and others. It belongs to the class of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids. Dimerization of coclaurine leads to the biscoclaurine alkaloids such as cepharanthine.
