Product Data:
Biological target: (R)-Fangchinoline (Thalrugosine), a alkaloids from genus Stephania,exhibits antimicrobial and hypotensive activity.
In vitro activity: PI and Annexin-V-FITC staining analysis confirmed that the number of Annexin V-positive cells (apoptosis marker) increased significantly after FCL (fangchinoline) treatment (Figures 3A, B ). Furthermore, FCL-treated ESCC cells had increased levels of cleaved PARP, a classical marker of apoptosis (Figure 3C). Therefore, these findings demonstrated that FCL triggered apoptosis in ESCC cells. Reference: Front Oncol. 2021; 11: 666549. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8236818/
In vivo activity: As shown in Fig. 1C, the CM-AS16 tumour growth was significantly inhibited after intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment of the NCG male mice with fangchinoline at a dosage of 50 mg/kg/day compared to the control group (p < 0.01).
