Description

General description

Chelerythrine chloride (CHE), a benzophenanthridine alkaloid is an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). It is the active component of Macleaya cordata.

Application

Chelerythrine chloride has been used:

• as a supplement in heat-inactivated late-embryo extract or late-embryo extract to inhibit protein kinase C (PKC) activity
• for in vitro Xenopus experiments
• as a PKC inhibitor in HL-1 cells, to block the PKC pathway to study its effects on doxazosin-induced galectin-3 and collagen expression

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chelerythrine chloride (CHE) is capable of preventing the growth and apoptosis in human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells. It possesses several biological effects and also can induce the phosphorylation of a ~20 kDa protein present in the mitochondrial fraction of the rat retina.
