Annonamine is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Annona muricata[1] (commonly known as soursop, graviola, guanabana, paw-paw and sirsak), a plant commonly used in folk medicine by indigenous communities in Africa and South America.[2] Structurally, it contains an aporphine core featuring a quaternary ammonium group.
