General description

Allocryptopin, an isoquinoline alkaliod, is a natural product commonly available from Allocryptopinus japonicus, Glaucium arabicum, Zanthoxylum beecheyanum, Berberis integerrima, and Macleaya cordata. This secondary metabolite derived from plant sources exhibits various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antitumor properties.

Application

It is a natural product derived from plant source that finds application in compound screening libraries, metabolomics, phytochemical, and pharmaceutical research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Allocryptopine has been reported to possess strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatoty, antiparasitic, antineoplastic and anti-addictive activities. Allocryptopine inhibits human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. It blocks hERG current in HEK293 cells. Allocryptopine strongly enhanced the I(peak) of the T353I channel by enhancing the plasma membrane (PM) expression of Nav1.5 and rescued defective trafficking after co-incubation with HEK293 cells that carry mutation channel 24 h.

Features and Benefits

  • High quality compound suitable for multiple research applications
  • Compatible with HPLC and mass spectrometry techniques
