Product Data
Biological target:
Mahanimbine is a major carbazole alkaloid from Murraya koenigii (curry leaves) that may alleviate development of HFD-induced metabolic alterations.
In vitro activity:
The results revealed that Mahanimbine could inhibit the proliferation of the all the pancreatic cancer cells with lower cytoxicity against the normal cells. The anticancer activity of Mahanimbine against the Capan-2 and SW119 cells was found to be due to G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis. Further, it was observed that Mahanimbine could inhibit the AKT/mTOR and STAT3 signalling pathways in the Capan-2 and SW119 pancreatic cancer cells.

In vivo activity:
This study evaluated the effects of mahanimbine, a major carbazole alkaloid from Murraya koenigii (curry leaves), against progression of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic complications in mice (male and female). Mahanimbine prevented HFD-induced hyperlipidemia and fat accumulation in adipose tissue and liver along with the restricted progression of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Moreover, mahanimbine treatment improved glucose clearance and upregulated the expression of insulin responsive genes in liver and adipose tissue.
