Coptis chinensis, the Chinese goldthread, is a species of goldthread native to China. Coptis chinensis is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine, the rhizomes of Coptis chinensis are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and serve as a source for the isoquinoline alkaloids berberine, palmatine, hydrastine, and coptisine among others.

What is Berberine?
Berberine is a quaternary ammonium salt from the protoberberine group of isoquinoline alkaloids. Berberine is usually found in the roots, rhizomes, stems, and bark of coptis.
Berberine is strongly yellow colored, which is why in earlier times Berberis species were used to dye wool, leather and wood. Wool is still today dyed with berberine in northern India. Under ultraviolet light, berberine shows a strong yellow fluorescence, so it is used in histology for staining heparinin mast cells. As a natural dye, berberine has a colour index of 75160.
