Salsolinol is a tetrahydroisoquinoline derived from dopamine which plays a role in neurotransmission and is a dopaminergic neurotoxin.
It has been linked to dopamine-related disorders including Parkinson's disease and alcohol use disorder. It is both synthesized in the human body and ingested in several common dietary sources.
