Neferine has been used to study its effect in autophagy signalling.[1]
生化/生理作用
Neferine inhibits proliferation of human osteosarcoma cells by stabilization of p21 through p38 MAPK-mediated activation; antidepressant-like and antiarrhythmic.
Neferine is a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the green seed embryos Nelumbo Nucifera Gaertn (Lotus) that displays multiple pharmacological activities including anti-tumor, antidepressant-like and antiarrhythmic actions. Recent studies shown that neferine potently inhibits proliferation of human osteosarcoma cells while is low-toxic on non-neoplastic human osteoblast cells. Apparently in U2OS cells, neferine stabilizes p21 through the activation of p38 MAPK, which leads to G1 cell cycle arrest. Also, neferine inhibits Ang II-induced HUVSMC proliferation by upregulation of HO-1.

Purpose: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) occurs in approximately 5-10% of patients after retinal detachment surgery. Neferine is a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid found in the green seed embryos (Nelumbo nucifera) of the lotus flower and has various properties, such as being antithrombotic, antioxidant
