| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
A bisbenzylisoquino!ine alkaloid obtained from Limacia cuspidata (Miers.) Hook.
f. et Thorn., the base crystallizes from Me2CO in the form of long, colourless
needles. It is strongly laevorotatory with [α]D - 2120 (CHCI3) and has been
shown to be the optical antipode of fanchinoline (q.v.). | [Description]
Fangchinoline is an alkaloid that has been found in S. tetrandrae and has diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties.1,2,3 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.1 Fangchinoline (1 and 10 μM) reduces cyanide-induced increases in secreted glutamate levels and cell death in primary neonatal rat cerebellar granule neurons.2 It decreases proliferation of PC3 human prostate cancer cells by 63 and 86% when used at concentrations of 20 and 30 μM, respectively.3 Fangchinoline reduces tumor growth in a PC3 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg per day for 12 days. | [Uses]
(+)-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. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid that is (1beta)- berbaman which has been substituted by methyl groups at the 2 and 2' positions, by methoxy groups at the 6, 6', and 12 positions, and by a hydroxy group at position 7. Isolated from S
ephania tetrandra, it has been found to possess neuroprotective and anti-tumour activity. | [References]
