Oxophoebine is a biologically active oxoaporphine alkaloid and also a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor. Oxophoebine acts as a cytotoxic agent against certain cancer cells. Oxophoebine binds to Measles Virus fusion protein, hemagglutinin and phosphoprotein, and interferes with viral entry, replication and particle assembly processes. Oxophoebine exhibits selective toxicity towards yeast mutants with defects in DNA repair and recombination. Oxophoebine can be used in studies related to measles and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
