Descriptions:
Fangchinoline and tetrandrine are the major alkaloids from Stephania tetrandrae S. they shows anti-inflammatory effects on mouse ear edema induced by croton oil, the biochemical mechanisms of fangchinoline and tetrandrine on anti-inflammation are significantly different even though they are similar in chemical structure.[1]
Fangchinoline and tetrandrine have vasodilating and hypotensive effects on the rat aorta and the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat.[2]
Fangchinoline is a highly specific agent inducing autophagic cell death via p53/sestrin2/AMPK signalling in hepatocellular carcinoma cells with a novel mechanism, which elucidates the potential of fangchinoline to potentiate programmed cell death in cancer cells.[3]
Fangchinoline is a nonspecific Ca(2+) channel blocker, it reduces both FBS- and PDGF-BB-induced RASMCs proliferation by perturbing cell cycle progression; this antiproliferative effect of FAN is dependent on the MAP kinase pathway, but cannot be limited to its Ca(2+) modulation.[4]
Fangchinoline (Fan) has anti-tumorigenic activity in vivo, including reduction of tumor volume and pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects in a PC3 nude mouse xenograft, it inhibits human prostate cancer cell lines (PC3) cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner, the anti-proliferative effect is associated with an increase in the G1/S phase of PC3 cells, suggests that Fan is an effective anti-proliferative agent that modulates cell growth regulators in prostate cancer cells.[5]
Fangchinoline can enhance the cytotoxicity of multidrug resistance-related drugs via modulation of P-glycoprotein.[6]
Fangchinoline has effective antioxidant and radical scavenging activity, also has protective effects on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative neuronal cell damage in cultured rat cerebellar granule cells.[7]
Fangchinoline can inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication by interfering with gp160 proteolytic processing.[8]
