A selective inhibitor of peptidyl transferase center (PTC).
A selective inhibitor of peptidyl transferase center (PTC). In HL-60 (leukemia) cells, lycorine arrests the cell cycle at G2/M and induces apoptosis by a caspase-mediated pathway.

In a continuing effort to discover natural products and natural product-based compounds for the control of columnaris disease in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), 17 lycorine analogues were synthesized, including new benzoyl analogues 6-16, and evaluated for antibacterial activity against two

Alkaloids from plants of the family Amaryllidaceae have important pharmacological properties and can be regarded as derivatives of the common precursor 4'-O-methylnorbelladine (6) via intramolecular oxidative phenol coupling. Their biosynthetic pathway, particularly in Leucojum aestivum, has not yet been totally
Melanoma cells actively participate in tumor angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry. However, anti-angiogenic therapy in patients with melanoma has not shown a significant survival gain. Thus, new anti-melanoma angiogenic and vasculogenic drugs are highly desired. Using the metastatic melanoma cell line
A concise and stereoselective construction of the tetracyclic core of lycorine-type alkaloids and the formal synthesis of α-lycorane has been achieved. The feature of the current method is the employment of a bifunctional thiourea-catalyzed cascade reaction as a powerful tool
