In vitro study | Hirsutine remarkably reduces the viability of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner with IC 50 values of 447.79 and 179.06 μM, respectively. In the MDA-MB-231 cells, Hirsutine induces apoptosis and depolarization of MMP, releases Cyt C from mitochondria, and activates caspase 9 and caspase 3. |
In vivo study | Hirsutine induces mPTP-dependent apoptosis through ROCK1/PTEN/PI3K/GSK3β pathway in human lung cancer cells. |

Use | rhynchophylline belongs to the tetracyclic hetero-yohimbine alkaloid. Rhynchophylline is mainly found in the leaves of Uncaria and Galea. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that rhynchophylline has anti-arrhythmia, anti-myocardial ischemia, anti-influenza Virus, anti-acetylcholine, antispasmodic and local anesthetic effects and activity. for content determination/identification/pharmacological experiments, etc |
biological activity | Hirsutine, an indole alkaloid of Uncaria rhynchophylla, has anti-cancer activity. Hirsutine induces apoptosis and is a potent inhibitor of Dengue virus with low toxicity. |
