Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cepharanthine is an anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, immunomo- modulatory and antineoplastic alkaloid isolated from Stephania cepharantha Hayata. Cepharanthine is an inhibitor of efflux transporter ABCC10. Also, Cepharanthine binds to central portion of Hsp90 with Kd 15 nM. Recent studies suggest that Cepharanthine inhibits the entry of HIV-1 by reducing plasma membrane fluidity.

Cepharanthine is known to be the only biscoclaurine alkaloid containing a methylenedioxy group. It promotes leukocytosis, as a result, it might activate the reticular endothelial system, hematopoietic tissue and bone marrow hyperplasia. It is known to inhibit Ehrlich tumor proliferation. Cepharanthine can increase the sensitivity and efficacy of antitumor drugs.
