From Wikipedia
Isoquinoline is an individual chemical specimen—a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound—as well as the name of a family of many thousands of natural plant alkaloids, any one of which might be referred to as "an isoquinoline" or isoquinolines. It is a structural isomer of quinoline. Isoquinoline and quinoline are benzopyridines, which are composed of a benzene ring fused to a pyridine ring. In a broader sense, the term isoquinoline is used to make reference to isoquinoline derivatives. 1-Benzylisoquinoline is the structural backbone in many naturally occurring alkaloids such as papaverine. The isoquinoline ring in these natural compound derives from the aromatic amino acid tyrosine.
