O-Methylbulbocapnine is an aporphine alkaloid that acts as an inhibitor of LPS-induced inflammatory signaling and a dopamine D1R antagonist. O-Methylbulbocapnine inhibits LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2, c-Jun, NF-κB p65 at Ser536, and Akt, decreases MyD88 protein levels, and reduces NF-κB nuclear translocation and DNA-binding activity. O-Methylbulbocapnine inhibits LPS-induced production of IL-6, TNF-α, PGE2, and NO, and decreases COX-2 and iNOS expression. O-Methylbulbocapnine can be used for research on Alzheimer's disease, cervical cancer, breast cancer, and malaria.
