| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
D-Dicentrine is an aporphinic alkaloid found in several plant species, mainly from family Lauraceae, including Lindera megaphylla. D-Dicentrine shows antinociceptive activity in a mouse model of pain. It probably acts via a TRPA1-dependent mechanism. D-Dicentrine is an alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist effective against human hyperplastic prostates.
| [Anti-cancer Activity]
D-Dicentrine, a naturally occurring aporphine type isoquinoline alkaloid, isolated from the root of Lindera megaphylla Hemsl. (Lauraceae), was evaluated for its potential anti-cancer activity. Huang RL etc. found d-dicentrine significantly inhibited the growth of human hepatoma cell line HuH-7 by delaying its doubling time in tissue culture. An in vitro colony forming assay showed that d-dicentrine decreased the colony formation efficiency in both hepatoma cell lines, HuH-7 and MS-G2, used in our study.
