Cyclovirobuxine D is a steroidal alkaloid component extracted from the root of medical plant Buxus microphylla that exhibits beneficial effect on heart failure, arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia and other cardiovascular diseases. Apparently it increases the release and uptake of Ca(2+) in systolic and diastolic periods. Cyclovirobuxine D induces mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in numerous cancer cells including breast and gastric cancer cells. It induces autophagy-associated cell death via the Akt/mTOR pathway in human breast cancer cells.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts the delivery of most drugs to the brain. In our previous study, the feasibility of cyclovirobuxine D delivery to the brain by a non-invasive nasal route was evaluated. In this study, a suitable drug delivery
Our previous studies have shown that cyclovirobuxine D (CVB-D) ameliorated the cardiac function in heart failure rats. Considering the relationship between cardiac function and [Ca(2+)]i, and the role of calcium cycling on regulating [Ca(2+)]i, the present study was designed to
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers, with high death rates, poor prognosis and limited treatment methods. Cyclovirobuxine D (CVB-D) is the main active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Buxus microphylla. In the present study, we
