Nummularine B
Nummularine B (Daechuine S27; N-Demethylamphibine H) is an anti-parasite agent. Nummularine B inhibits calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase activity with an IC50 of 16.8 μM. Nummularine B inhibits the growth of Plasmodium and Leishmania donovani in vitro. Nummularine B inhibits the calmodulin-dependent activity of actomyosin Ca2+-ATPase. Nummularine B is applicable to research related to malaria and visceral leishmaniasis.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
