Lycorine hydrochloride

Description

Lycorine (2188-68-3) arrests cell cycle at G2/M phase and induces apoptosis in tumor cells.1 Inhibits human enterovirus 71 replication by blocking elongation of the viral polyprotein during translation and reduces viral cytopathic effects in mice.2 Dose-dependently extends the circadian period length in mammalian cells by enhancing Bmal1 transcription.3 Selectively inhibits human ovarian cancer cell proliferation and neovascularization (IC50=1.2 μM).4?A potent SREBF chaperone (SCAP) degrader (Kd=15.24 nM) which acts via an autophagy-independent lysosomal pathway.5

The Uses of Lycorine hydrochloride

Lycorine Hydrochloride is the main phenanthridine Amaryllidaceae alkaloid which exhibits significant antitumor activity in cancer cells that display resistance to proapoptotic stimuli.

What are the applications of Application

Lycorine hydrochloride is a protein synthesis inhibitor

Biochem/physiol Actions

A selective inhibitor of peptidyl transferase center (PTC). In HL-60 (leukemia) cells, lycorine arrests the cell cycle at G2/M and induces apoptosis by a caspase-mediated pathway.
