Columbamine

Columbamine (Columbamin; Dehydroisocorypalmine) is an organic heterotetracyclic alkaloid extracted from plants. Columbamine is a metabolite of Berberine (HY-N0716) . Columbamine inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4 (IC50 = 30.6 µM) . Columbamine induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Columbamine can be used for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antifungal, antiparasite, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic study[1][2][3][4][5].
