Gentianine is a pyridine-derived alkaloid. Originally isolated in 1944 from Gentiana kirilowi,[2] it has also been found in Gentiana macrophylla,[3] fenugreek,[4] Strychnos angolensis,[5] Strychnos xantha,[5] and other plants.[1]

Gentianine is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 82-83 °C.[1] It is a base that forms salts, such as the hydrochloride salt, upon treatment with acids.[1]

Gentianine has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory properties.[3][6][7][8]
