Application

Sanguinarine chloride hydrate was tested for anti-schistosomal activities against Schistosoma mansoni.9 It was tested for anti-lipase activity against Candida rugosa lipase.10
Sanguinarine chloride hydrate yields clear, orange solution in methanol at 20 mg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A natural product with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. Has antiproliferative, pro-apoptosis effects in some cancer cell lines.
Sanguinarine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid isolated from plants belonging to the family Papaveracea. It exhibits anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It induces cell cycle arrest and sensitizes cancer cells to apoptosis by activating TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand.6,7 It inhibits STAT3, MMP-2, MMP-9, interacts with glutathione, induces generation of ROS, disrupts the microtubule assembly and causes DNA damage resulting the death of the cancer cells.6,7,8

The quaternary ammonium salt, sanguinarine (SANG), is of great practical and research interest because of its pronounced, widespread physiological effects, which promote anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory responses in experimental animals. Although SANG is originally shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties and it
