Cyclopiazonic acid
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Cyclopiazonic acid is an endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (ECAs) inhibitor and human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) inhibitor (EC50 value of 4.13 μ M), which can reduce the antagonistic effect of 5-HT receptors in rat thoracic aorta, induce p53 dependent cell apoptosis and reproductive toxicity in mouse testes, and inhibit the biological activation of aflatoxin B[1][4][5].

Cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM) enhances 5-HT-induced contraction and reduces the antagonistic effect of 5-HT receptors in rat thoracic aorta [2]. Cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM, 48h) has an inhibitory effect on pacemaker current in sinoatrial node cells[3]. Cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM, 48h) exhibits antiviral activity against human respiratory syncytial virus by increasing intracellular calcium concentration in HEp-2 cells[4]. Cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM) inhibits the formation of certain metabolites of caffeine and testosterone and suppresses the biological activation of aflatoxin B through cytochrome P450 enzymes[5].
