Catharanthine Sulfate
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Catharanthine ((+)-3,4-Didehydrocoronaridine) Sulfate, a constituent of anticancer vinca alkaloids, inhibits voltage-operated L-type Ca2+ channel (VOCC). Catharanthine Sulfate has IC50s of 220 μM and 8 μM for VOCC currents in cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), respectively. Catharanthine Sulfate lowers blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR). Catharanthine Sulfate has anti-cancer activity.

Catharanthine (40 mg/kg; ip; single dose) Sulfate with acute administration induces similar antidepressant-like activity in male and female mice at 1 h and 24 h[1].
Catharanthine (20 mg/kg; ip; for 14 consecutive days) Sulfate increases swimming time and decreases immobility time at D7 or D14 in mice[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:13-week-old male SpragueDawley rats (300-350 g)[1]
-
Dosage:0.5-20 mg/kg
-
Administration:IV; single dose
-
Result:Evoked rapid, transient reductions in BP and HR (lasting ,2 minutes) at low doses (0.5–5 mg/kg), whereas at higher doses (10 and 20 mg/kg), the BP and HR reductions were sustained.
