Chelerythrine Reviews

Chelerythrine is an isoquinoline alkaloid derived from the roots and leaves of the Ruticaceae Toddalia asiatica (L.)Lam., from the rooted whole grass of Papaveraceae Juss. Chelidonium majus and from the fruit pod of Macleaya cordata (Willd.) R. Br.. Its appearance is orange red powder when the content is low, is light yellow powder or light white powder when the content is high. It is soluble in methanol, ethanol, has a certain solubility in water, insoluble in petroleum ether, chloroform and other solvents. Chelerythrine is a kind of chemical, which has many pharmacological activities such as anti-tumor, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, clearing heat and detoxifying. Chelerythrine is often used for content determination, identification and pharmacological experiments, and is a potent inhibitor of cell permeable protein kinase C.

How Chelerythrine Works

Firstly, chelerythrine can induce apoptosis through various pathways and mechanisms. In addition to acting on factors in the apoptotic pathway, promoting the release of mitochondrial cytochrome C, inhibiting the activity of protein kinase C, inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin (preventing the progression of cell mitosis) and rapidly inducing apoptosis through the production of reactive oxygen species. It can also balance anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic signaling pathways, induce cell cycle arrest and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis.
Second, chelerythrine can bind to DNA, and the specific binding site of chelerythrine is a continuous GC pairing sequence. The binding between them is dominated by electrostatic attraction, and chelerythrine can be used as an embedder or fluorescent probe during DNA examination to insert the intercalation and stabilize the DNA double helix structure. Chelerythrine also specifically binds to the C and T raised sites of hairpin DNA, which shows that chelerythrine has DNA fragmentation and provides a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanism of its pharmacological action.

Health Benefits of Chelerythrine

Chelerythrine has been associated with an array of potential health benefits, such as Anticancer Activity, Antibacterial Activity, Treatment of Liver Injury, Insecticidal Activity and so on, here we will browes some of its important Health Benefits as below:
Anticancer Activity
Chelerythrine has inhibitory effects on a variety of human tumor cell lines, mainly because its activity can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. Chelerythrine has been shown to be cytotoxic to 9 types of tumor cells (MCF-7,MCF7ADR,HT29,DaOY,SCC35,SCC61,SQ20B,ISQ3 and LnCap) in vitro. In addition, the anti-tumor cell effect of chelerythrine may also be related to its biological properties of damaging DNA. In addition, chelerythrine has obvious cytotoxicity and sensitivity to human prostate cancer cell lines and human gingival fibroblasts. Moreover, because chelerythrine is involved in apoptosis and cell cycle regulation, it may have a good application prospect in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Antibacterial Activity
Chelerythrine is one of the main active components of the traditional natural medicinal plant Chelidonine, which not only has significant anticancer activity, but also has inhibitory effects on some fungi, bacteria and viruses. In vitro, it can inhibit streptococcus A, catarrhal, Neisseria type I, Neisseria mucosae, diplococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and other gram-positive bacteria. In vivo, it can inhibit tuberculosis bacill. Low concentration of chelidonine can inhibit phage and Escherichia coli.
Treatment of Liver Injury
Chelerythrine has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects and can be used to treat liver diseases caused by a variety of causes, such as alcoholic hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver, and minor liver damage caused by drugs or chemical poisons. However, it needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor to treat liver injury, which can protect the liver and alleviate liver fibrosis, improve liver function and reduce the probability of liver injury, but to avoid self-medication to avoid adverse reactions.
Insecticidal Activity
Compared with chemical pesticides, pesticides made of chelerythrine can not only avoid the generation of resistance, but also reduce the harm of pesticide residues to the human body. It was found that chelerythrine inhibited the spore germination of M. oryzae by 86.7% and induced the apoptosis of M. oryzae cells. Moreover, chelerythrine can kill schistosoma japonicum cercaria in water in a short time and at low concentration, and can protect animals from schistosomiasis. In addition, chelerythrine also has the effect of killing snails, the increase of chelidonine concentration, the increase of ambient temperature and the extension of soaking time can increase the mortality of snails.

Chelerythrine Side Effects

For patients who are allergic to chelerythrine, it should be avoided, otherwise allergic reactions may occur, such as skin itching, redness and swelling. In addition, patients with gastrointestinal diseases, uncontrolled infections, and active tuberculosis should also avoid using it to avoid aggravating physical discomfort.
