Product Data
Biological target:
Matrine (Matridin-15-one) is an alkaloid that can act as a kappa opioid receptor and u-receptor agonist.
In vitro activity:
Matrine significantly inhibited the in vitro and ex vivo growth of human non-small cell lung cancer A549 and hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells. Matrine induced the apoptosis in A549 and SMMC-7721 cells. Furthermore, matrine significantly suppressed the A549 cell migration without reducing the cell viability. In addition, matrine dramatically reduced the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A in A549 cells. Reference: Cytotechnology. 2009 Apr;59(3):191-200. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19649719/
In vivo activity:
Matrine decreased the Th2 cytokine levels in the mouse ear tissues and serum, and it also significantly repressed inflammatory cytokines (thymus activation regulated chemokine and interleukin-6) secretions by repressing the Hsp90/NF-κB signaling axis in inflamed HaCaT cells. Furthermore, matrine inhibited Th2 differentiation of CD4+ T cells when co-cultured with inflamed HaCaT cells. Reference: Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 2023 Feb 9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36757049/
