Palmatineis an isoquinoline alkaloid. Palmatine chloride (PMTCl) is a protoberberine isoquinoline alkaloid with no ketone group and a soluble drug form of palmatine. It has low hygroscopic stability because of chloride ions present in its structure. PMTCl is a natural compound found in the rhizomes of Coptischinensis.
Application
Palmatine chloride has been used to test its effects as an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in vitro.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Palmatine chloride acts as a microbial collagenase inhibitor and a potential anti-infective agent. It possesses many other pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-viral, and neuroprotective.
Bacterial virulence factors are mediating bacterial pathogenesis and infectivity. Collagenases are virulence factors secreted by several bacterial stains, such as Clostridium, Bacillus, Vibrio and Pseudomonas. These enzymes are among the most efficient degraders of collagen, playing a crucial role in
