epiberberine (chloride)

Epiberberine chloride, a natural pro-berberine from Coptis chinensis Franch. is an AChE, BChE, and BACE1 inhibitor with IC50 values of 1.07, 6.03, and 8.55 μM, respectively.Epiberberine chloride has antioxidant effects and inhibits the effects of Ca9-22 and Fa2R. Epiberberine chloride has antioxidant effects, inhibits the motility of Ca9-22 and FaDu cell lines, and can be used to study hyperlipidemia, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.

1. Epiberberine may be caused drug interactions based on CYP2D6 enzyme. 2. Epiberberine has anti-adipogenic effect is mediated by downregulation of the Raf MEK1 ERK1 2 and AMPKα Akt pathways during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. 3. Epiberberine, as the brightest FSA emitter among the alkaloids, can also serve as an efficient conformation probe for HTG DNA and discriminate the DNA G-quadruplex from the RNA counterpart.
