Analysis of the structural characteristics of berberine and its analogs. The energy-minimized structures of berberine and its analogs were generated with MM2 on ChemBio3D (PerkinElmer Life Sciences). The electrostatic potential surfaces for berberine and its analogs were generated with DelPhi on Accelrys Discovery Studio 2016 (Dassault Systèmes). Red and cyan represent the electronegative and electropositive potentials, respectively, and green represents a potential halfway point between the two extremes. The pKa of tetrahydroberberine was predicted by Marvin Beans (ChemAxon).
