Dinoxyline
Dinoxyline is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkaloids. Alkaloids are naturally occurring chemical compounds that contain mostly basic nitrogen atoms. This group also includes some related compounds with neutral and even weakly acidic properties. Some synthetic compounds of similar structure may also be termed alkaloids. In particular, Dinoxyline is a quinolizidine alkaloid, a class of alkaloids with a structure based on the quinolizidine skeleton, a bicyclic compound made up of a quinoline fused to a pyridine ring.
Dinoxyline is known to be associated with several biological and pharmacological activities. However, its exact mechanism of action and potential therapeutic uses are still under investigation.
