• MW: 652.78
• Purity: 99.53%
• Formula: C₃₉H₄₄N₂O₇
• SMILES: [H][C@]12Cc3ccc(Oc4cc(C[C@]5([H])N(C)CCc6c(OC)c(OC)c(OC)c(Oc7cc1c(CCN2C)cc7OC)c56)ccc4OC)cc3
• Target: AMPK,P-gp,TNF,ROS

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Hernandezine inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α expression/production in human macrophage cell lines (THP-1 and U93). Hernandezine inhibits the transport function of ABCB1, and enhances drug-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Hernandezine significantly resensitizes ABCB1-overexpressing cancer cells to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs at nontoxic, nanomolar concentrations.
