Chelerythrine hydroxide is the salt form of Chelerythrine, a benzophenanthridine alkaloid present in the plant Chelidonium majus (greater celandine). It is a potent, selective, and cell-permeable protein kinase C inhibitor in vitro. And an efficacious antagonist of G-protein-coupled CB1 receptors.]This molecule also exhibits anticancer qualities and it has served as a base for many potential novel drugs against cancer.

Chelerythrine Chloride is a cell-permeable inhibitor of protein kinase C, competitive with respect to the phosphate acceptor and non-competitive with respect to ATP.

1. Chelerythrine (Broussonpapyrine) may have antimanic effect . 2. Chelerythrine can inhibit telomerase activity. 3. Chelerythrine is a well-known protein kinase C inhibitor . 4. Chelerythrine has potential antiproliferative and antitumor effects.
