Forsyshiyanine A

Foryshiyanine A is a triterpenoid alkaloid with notable biological activities. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting β-glucuronidase release from rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Additionally, Foryshiyanine A demonstrates antiviral activity, with an EC50 value of 4.5 μM against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and an IC50 value of 7.3 μM against the influenza A H1N1 virus. It reduces viral load by interfering with viral replication and entry, making it useful for studying inflammation and infection.
