Oxyacanthine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Oxyacanthine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid and anti-inflammatory agent. Oxyacanthine exists in plants such as Berberis oblonga, Berberis vulgaris and Berberis aquifolium. Oxyacanthine inhibits the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β. Oxyacanthine exhibits anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. Oxyacanthine is applicable to research related to COVID-19.

In Vitro
Oxyacanthine (10 μM; 2 h pre-incubation, followed by 12 h co-incubation with LPS) potently suppress LPS-induced IL-6 and IL-1β gene expression in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages, with greater activity than berbamine[1].
Oxyacanthine (10-50 μM; 48 h) exhibits greater cytotoxicity than select synthetic intermediates in HepG2 and HEK293 cells[1].
Oxyacanthine (24 h) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero E6 cells with an anti-virus IC50 of 14.50 μM, and exhibits cytotoxicity in Vero E6 cells with an IC50 of 29.94 μM[2].
