General description
Protopine is a celandine alkaloid and a bioactive compound associated with the plant families including fumariaceae, berberidaceae and papaveraceae. It is metabolized by demethylenation in the presence of the cytochrome enzymes cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily d polypeptide 1 (CYP2D1) and cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily c polypeptide 11 (CYP2C11).
Application
Protopine hydrochloride may be used in the calibration curve preparation for the quantification of alkaloids from Fumaria capreolata using liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry(MS/MS). It may also be used as an alkaloid in cytotoxicity and permeability studies carcinogenic cell lines.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Protopine possesses anti-parasitic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory property. It mediates mitotic arrest by favoring tubulin polymerization. Protopine elicits anti-invasive effects in breast cancer tumor progression.. It also provides protection against oxidative stress-induced cell death.
Protopine hydrochloride is a Ca2+ channel blocker and antiplatelet agent.
Caution
Protect from light.

The protopine isolated from a Chinese herb Dactylicapnos scandens Hutch was identified as an inhibitor of both serotonin transporter and noradrenaline transporter in vitro assays. 5-hydroxy-DL-tryptophan(5-HTP)-induced head twitch response (HTR) and tail suspension test were adopted to study whether protopine

Identification of putative biomarker molecules within the genus Corydalis (Papaveraceae) was pursued by combining conventional off-line sample enrichment with high-performance liquid chromatography-solid phase extraction-nuclear magnetic resonance (HPLC-SPE-NMR) based structure elucidation. Off-line reversed phase solid phase extraction (SPE) was used to

With the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a convenient and rapid method for determination of alkaloids in Corydalis Tuber extract and classification for samples from different locations have been developed. Five different samples were collected according to their geographical origin

In this study, we investigated the anticancer effect of protopine on human hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) cells. Protopine exhibited an anti-proliferative effect by induction of tubulin polymerization and mitotic arrest, which ultimately led to apoptotic cell death. The data suggest

Calcium and lipid peroxidation play important roles in oxidative stress-induced cellular injury and apoptosis, which ultimately cause cell death. In this study we examined whether protopine had a neuroprotection against H(2)O(2)-induced injury in PC12 cells. Pretreatment of PC12 cells with
