Jatrorrhizine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Jatrorrhizine is an alkaloid isolated from Coptis chinensis with neuroprotective, antimicrobial, antiplasmodial and antioxidant activities. Jatrorrhizine is a potent and orally active inhibitor of AChE (IC50=872 nM) over >115-fold selectivity for BuChE. Jatrorrhizine reduces uptake of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) via inhibition of uptake-2 transporters.

Biological Activity
|
AChE |
Jatrorrhizine has antiplasmodial and antiamoebic activity, it against Plasmodium falciparum and E. histolytica with IC50 values of 3.15 and 82.7 µM, respectively[1].The hOCT2 (organic cation transporter 2), hOCT3, and PMAT (plasma membrane monoamine transporter) are capable of transporting monoamine neurotransmitters in the brain[3]. Jatrorrhizine has the inhibitory potency of jatrorrhizine on 5-HT and NE uptake in hOCT2-, hOCT3-, and PMAT-transfected cells. Jatrorrhizine strongly inhibits PMAT-mediated MPP+ uptake with an IC50 value of 1.05 μM and reduces 5-HT and NE uptake mediated by hOCT2, hOCT3, and hPMAT with IC50 values of 0.1-1 μM (for OCT2 and OCT3) and 1-10 μM (for PMAT)[3].Clearance of neurotransmitters released into the synaptic cleft is defined by two distinct processes. Uptake-1, the common target of current applied antidepressants, is comprised of the serotonin transporter (SERT), the “SERT”, had a high affinity but low capacity to take up [3H]5-HT. Uptake-2 transporters are an important supplementary regulation system in monoamine clearancethought to be the “NET”, has low affinity but high capacity to take up [3H]5-HT into brain slices. Jatrorrhizine significantly inhibited 5-HT and NE uptake in synaptosomes at 25 μM and 50 μM[3].
