Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Dihydrolycorine is a derivative of the alkaloid lycorine that has antihypertensive and neuroprotective activities. It inhibits methoxamine-induced contraction, reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP), and reduces electrically or phenylephrine-induced hypertension. Dihydrolycorine reduces infarct size, cerebral edema, and myeloperoxidase activity.

Product Data
Biological target:
Dihydrolycorine, isolated from Lycoris radiate Herb, is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in eukarytic cells by inhibiting the peptide bone formation step.
In vitro activity:
Furthermore, this study observed the downregulation of fibrotic genes, including collagen I, TGFβ, and p-smad3, in the MI rats treated with dihydrolycorine (Figures 3(c) and 3(d)), downregulation of the apoptosis gene Bax, and upregulation of the apoptosis gene Bcl-2. Most importantly, upregulation of Runx1 after MI surgery was inhibited by dihydrolycorine treatment (Figures 3(e) and 3(f)).

In vivo activity:
This study confirmed that dihydrolycorine exhibited cardioprotective effects in vitro. First, this study found that the number of hypoxia-treated cardiomyocytes was significantly higher following the culture with dihydrolycorine at concentrations of 1.0, 5.0, 10, and 15 μM for 24 h than that observed in the control group; however, these numbers began decreasing upon at treatment with 15 μM dihydrolycorine (Figure 5(a)).
