Tetrahydropapaveroline (norlaudanosoline) is a benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid.[1]

It can be formed in trace amounts in the brain by a condensation reaction of dopamine and dopaldehyde (a metabolite of dopamine).[1][2]

It inhibits dopamine uptake within the cerebral cortex.[citation needed]
