2188-68-3

Lycorine (2188-68-3) arrests cell cycle at G2/M phase and induces apoptosis in tumor cells.1 Inhibits human enterovirus 71 replication by blocking elongation of the viral polyprotein during translation and reduces viral cytopathic effects in mice.2 Dose-dependently extends the circadian period length in mammalian cells by enhancing Bmal1 transcription.3 Selectively inhibits human ovarian cancer cell proliferation and neovascularization (IC50=1.2 μM).4?A potent SREBF chaperone (SCAP) degrader (Kd=15.24 nM) which acts via an autophagy-independent lysosomal pathway.5

A selective inhibitor of peptidyl transferase center (PTC). In HL-60 (leukemia) cells, lycorine arrests the cell cycle at G2/M and induces apoptosis by a caspase-mediated pathway.
