Chelerythrine
Based on 19 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Chelerythrine is a natural alkaloid, acts as a potent and selective Ca2+/phospholopid-dependent PKC antagonist, with an IC50 of 0.7 μM. Chelerythrine has antitumor, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity. Chelerythrine inhibits the BclXL-Bak BH3 peptide binding with IC50 of 1.5 μM and displaces Bax from BclXL. Chelerythrine triggers apoptosis and autophagy.

Chelerythrine (0-5 μM, 24 or 48 h) induces apoptosis in BclXL-overexpressing SH-SY5Y cells[3].
Chelerythrine (2.5-10 μM, 16 h) induces mitochondrial depolarization (decrease in mitochondrial potential) in SH-SY5Y cells, and stimulates release of CytC from isolated mitochondria[4].
Chelerythrine (0-100 ng/mL, 24 h) reduces the LPS induced production of NO and TNF-α in primary macrophages[5].
Chelerythrine (MIC: 0.156 mg/mL) shows antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (SA), MRSA, and extended spectrum β-lactamase S. aureus (ESBLs-SA)[6].

IMQ administration. Images in the top showed significant attenuation in IMQ-induced psoriasis following CLT (Chelerythrine chloride, 4 mg/kg) treatment. H&E staining analysis of the dorsal skin of the IMQ group on day 7 revealed significant epidermal hyperplasia, increased acanthosis, parakeratosis, telangiectasia, and inflammatory cell infiltration. CLT injection significantly reversed these histological changes caused by IMQ, showing less parakeratosis and less epidermal thickening than the IMQ group.
