Application

Securinine was used as a standard in the synthesis of the members of Securinega alkaloid family.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Securinine is an alkaloid widely in traditional folk medicine. Long known as a GABAA antagonist, securinine was recently found to up-regulate p53 protein and to modulate the related family member p73 protein in a p53-dependent fashion, inducing p73 in the HCT116 p53(-) cells and down-regulating it in the p53(+) cells. Induction of proapoptotic protein p73 only in p53 cells could be used to target cancer cells preferentially. Securinine has been found to induce p53-independent, p73-dependent apoptosis in RKO colon cancer cells.

Securinine, an alkaloid originally isolated from Securinega suffruticosa, exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including anti-malarial activity. Along with securinine, 10 pyrrolidine derivatives, generated via the retrosynthesis of (-)-securinine, were selected and tested for their inhibitory activity against Toxoplasma

Pharmacological activities of virosecurinine (Vse) and securinine (Sec) were studied. The results showed that acute toxicity of Vse was 1/13.6 that of Sec, and Vse had no convulsive effects on rats or frogs, while Sec had. The results also showed
