(-)-Anonaine can be extracted from several species of Magnoliaceae and Annelidae and has antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anticancer, antidepressant and vasodilatory activities. (-)-Anonaine induces apoptosis in human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells, induces DNA damage and inhibits the growth and migration of human lung cancer h1299 cells through Bax and caspase-dependent pathways.
Astragalin (Kaempferol 3-O-glucoside) is a biologically active natural flavonoid. It has a variety of pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties.
1. Neferine ((-)-Neferine) has anti-tumor activities , Metabolic activation mediated by CYP3A4 and GSH depletion enhanced Neferine-induced cytotoxicity. 2. Neferine can be helpful to increase the efficacy of DOX and to achieve anticancer synergism by curbing the toxicity. 3. Neferine inhibited high glucose-induced endothelial apoptosis via blocking ROS/Akt/NF-κB pathway, which provides the evidence for using Neferine to treat diabetic vasculopathy. 4. Neferine induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with the hypergeneration of reactive oxygen species, activation of MAPKs, lipid peroxidation, depletion of cellular antioxidant pool, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and intracellular calcium accumulation.
Isoliensinine (Isoliensinin) is a natural product, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid. Isoliensinine has antitumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiarrhythmic activities.
Nuciferine ((-)-Nuciferine) is an alkaloid found within the plants Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera. It has a profile of action associated with dopamine receptor blockade.
Roemerine ((-)-Roemerine) is a porphyrin alkaloid from Senegalese lychee with antifungal and anticancer activity that prevents berberine efflux through inhibition of Bmr. Roemerine increases cell membrane permeability in a concentration-dependent manner and has been used in studies of fungal infections and prostate cancer.
Lirinidine is an alkaloid isolated from L. tulipifera leaves with antioxidant and anticancer properties. It exhibits moderate iron-reducing capacity and small free radical scavenging capacity in vitro and can be used in cosmetic research.
Liensinine Diperchlorate is an isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the embryonic seeds of the sacred lotus. It inhibits late autophagy by blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion and exhibits biological activities such as anti-arrhythmic, anti-hypertensive, anti-pulmonary fibrosis, and vascular smooth muscle relaxation.
Lotusine, a pure alkaloid extracted from the Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn., affects action potentials in the myocardium and slow inward current in cardiac Purkinje fibers.
1,2-Dimethylnaphthalene is a specific dimethylnaphthalene isomer carrying methyl substituents at the 1 and 2 positions on the naphthalene ring system, and this polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon has been reported as a natural constituent in several plant species including Phaseolus vulgaris, Nelumbo lutea, and Magnolia liliiflora.
(+)-Armepavine is an active compound from Nelumbo nucifera that exhibits anti-inflammatory effects on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, immunosuppressive effects on T lymphocytes, and protective activity in lupus nephritic mice, in part by inhibiting TNF-α-induced MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways.
2-Palmitoylglycerol is an analog of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) that does not bind positively to cannabinoid receptors and antagonizes 2-AG-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE).
N-norarmepavine shows significant cytotoxic activities against HL-60 carcinoma cell line with inhibitory ratios of 51.43% at concentration of 1 x 10(-5) M. Norarmepavine shows inhibition against Trypanosoma cruzi. D-(+)- N-norarmepavine exhibits significa
N-Nornuciferine is an aporphine alkaloid derived from lotus leaf that strongly inhibits CYP2D6 with an IC50 of 3.76 μM and Ki of 2.34 μM, and pharmacokinetic studies show rapid absorption into blood with mean Cmax values of 1.71 μg/mL at 0.9 h and 0.57 μg/mL at 1.65 h after administration. Following intravenous dosing at 10 mg/kg, N-Nornuciferine exhibits a wide volume of distribution of 9.48–15.17 L/kg and slow elimination half-lives of 2.09–3.84 h. the oral bioavailability of N-Nornuciferine is estimated at 58.13–79.91%. At 20 mg/kg i.v. dosing, N-Nornuciferine also rapidly crosses the blood–brain barrier, achieving unbound Cmax values of 0.32 μg/mL and 0.16 μg/mL at approximately 0.89–1.22 h.
