Description and Uses
Fangchinoline is an alkaloid that has been found in S. tetrandrae and has diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties. It inhibits the activity of sheep COX and decreases IL-6-induced proliferation of MH60 mouse hybridoma cells with IC50 values of 129 and 3.7 μM, respectively. Fangchinoline (1 and 10 μM) reduces cyanide-induced increases in secreted glutamate levels and cell death in primary neonatal rat cerebellar granule neurons. It decreases proliferation of PC3 human prostate cancer cells by 63 and 86% when used at concentrations of 20 and 30 μM, respectively. Fangchinoline reduces tumor growth in a PC3 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg per day for 12 days.
(+)-Fangchinoline is an isolate from Stephania Tetrandra that shows anti-cancer activity. It inhibits breast adenocarcinoma proliferation through apoptosis induction. In addition, it has been shown to inhibit HIV-Type 1 replication.
