Lotusine is an alkaloid that has been found in N. nucifera and has diverse biological activities. It increases the level of cAMP in rat myocardium when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 3 µM and the levels of cGMP in rabbit corpus cavernosum in a concentration-dependent manner. Lotusine prevents lipid...
