Heliovicine is a naturally occurring alkaloid derived from plants in the Heliotropium genus, known for its potential neuroactive properties. It has been studied for its role as a central nervous system stimulant, with some research suggesting that it may affect neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine and serotonin. The mechanism of heliovicine is believed to involve modulation of these neurotransmitter systems, potentially enhancing cognitive function or mood. While primarily explored in research, it holds potential for use in treating conditions like depression or neurodegenerative diseases, though further studies are needed to confirm its clinical efficacy.
