Abstract
Correction for ‘Synthesis and evaluation of nuciferine and roemerine enantiomers as 5-HT2 and α1 receptor antagonists’ by Hui Li Heng et al., Med. Chem. Commun., 2018, DOI: 10.1039/c7md00629b.
The authors regret that Scheme 1 showed the wrong structure for 12a, 12b, 3a and 3b. Please find below the corrected scheme.

| Scheme 1 | ||
In addition, there were some errors in the numbering of two of the amino acids in Fig. 4, panels C and D. Please find below the corrected figure, including corrected caption.

| Fig. 4 The docking poses of the two enantiomers of roemerine in complex with the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. A and C. The poses of (R)-roemerine enable a π–π interaction with Phe340/328 as depicted by the black dotted lines. B and D. The poses of (S)-roemerine do not allow a π–π interaction with Phe340/328. For the purpose of clarity, only the principal binding residues are depicted and some of the transmembrane helices are not shown. | ||
