9,10-Dimethoxy-13-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolino[3,2-a]isoquinolin-7-ium chloride

Beschreibung13-Methylberberine (13-MB) (chloride) is a 13-methyl-substituted derivative of berberine . Berberine is a widely distributed berberidaceaen alkaloid found in plant tissues that has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anti-obesity, and hypercholesterolemic activity. 13-MB has improved antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MIC = 125 μg/ml) and improved antitumor activity with a mean GI50 value of 11.7 μM, as compared to berberine. 13-MB also induces down-regulation of adipocyte differentiation transcription factors, reduces de novo lipid synthesis, and accumulates in murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes at higher levels than berberine, suggesting improved anti-obesity activity.

Verwenden13-Methylberberinium Chloride can be used to treat and prevent immunoinflammatory dermal disorders. It can also be used in synthesis to result in derivatives that can be used to treat nerve diseases and anti-infective agents.
