S-Isocorydine (+)

Isocorydine is an alkaloid from root tubers of Stephania Kwangsiensis H.S. Lo. (In Vitro) :Isocorydine (0-400 ug/ml; 48 hours) show a significant decrease in the IC50 for ICD and DOX, the CI values are 0.605, 0.644, 0.804, and 0.707 respectively for Huh-7, Hep-G2, SNU-449 and SNU-387.Isocorydine (0-400 ug/ml; 48 hours) abrogates DOX-induced upregulation of mesenchymal markers and the downregulation of epithelial markers in human HCC cell lines. (In Vivo) :Isocorydine (intraperitoneal injection; 0.4 mg/kg; every 2 days for 2 weeks) retards the tumor growth, but the combined treatment of Doxorubicin (DOX) or ICD significantly inhibits tumor growth.
