discretamine

Scoulerine is an inhibitor of ß-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1(BACE1). Scoulerine a potent antimitotic compound that inhibits proliferation, arrests cell cycle, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells.

Scoulerine HCl is a multi-target inhibitor with antibacterial, antitumor, and antioxidant activities. Scoulerine HCl targets GABA receptors and BACE1 and inhibits mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, thereby suppressing cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and stemness maintenance. Scoulerine HCl also disrupts microtubule structure by acting on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling axis and α1D-adrenergic receptors, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Additionally, Scoulerine HCl regulates endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial function, and possesses various pharmacological activities, including anti-Plasmodium falciparum and antiemetic and antitussive effects.

Dehydrodiscretamine chloride, a dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), exhibits IC50 values of 17.8 μM and 118.8 μM, respectively. It also possesses antioxidant activity and is utilized in research related to Alzheimer's disease [1].
