General description

(S,R)-Noscapine is a phthalideisoquinoline alkaloid found in opium. It is an antimicrotubule agent that also shows potent antitumor activity.

Application

Noscapine may be used as a source to synthesize its bromo-derivatives, which has higher tubulin binding activity when compared to noscapine. Its 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl analog is a potential antitumor agent.

Noscapine is a promising anti-tumour agent. The purpose of the present study was to describe the metabolic map and investigate the bioactivation of noscapine. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was used to analyse

Centrosome amplification (CA) and resultant chromosomal instability have long been associated with tumorigenesis. However, exacerbation of CA and relentless centrosome declustering engender robust spindle multipolarity (SM) during mitosis and may induce cell death. Recently, we demonstrated that a noscapinoid member
