Chelerythrine is a potent, selective, and cell-permeable protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. It is also the major active natural product found in the plant Zanthoxylum clava-herculis, exhibiting anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. (Wikipedia) Chelerythrine is a selective inhibitor of group A and B PKC isoforms with an antitumor activity. Inhibition of PKC with chelerythrine chloride induces apoptosis by activation of a neutral sphingomyelinase, accumulation of ceramide, and depletion of sphingomyelin. Chelerythrine is at least 100-fold more selective for PKCs than for other kinases. Chelerythrine competes for the conserved catalytic sites of PKC and seems to be a potent and specific inhibitor of the group A and group B kinases. Chelerythrine exhibited cytotoxic activity against nine human tumor cell lines tested in vitro. Radioresistant and chemoresistant squamous cell carcinoma lines (HNSCC) undergo apoptosis rapidly after treatment with chelerythrine in vitro. Chelerythrine treatment of nude mice bearing SQ-20B HNSCC cells is associated with significant tumor growth delay. Also, treatment with chelerythrine resulted in minimal toxicity. (A15441)

DescriptionChelerythrine chloride is the chloride form of Chelerythrine chloride which is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid isolated from the plant Chelidonium majus (greater celandine). It is a kind of potent, selective, and cell-permeable protein kinase C inhibitor, an efficient antagonist of G-protein-coupled CB1 receptors, and an independent activator of MAPK pathways. It has a wide range of biological activities including antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antitumor effects. It has reported of that it is capable of inducing apoptosis in HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells and several other cancer cell lines. The underlying mechanism is through its effects of inhibiting the binding of BclXL to Bax or Bad.
UsesChelerythrine Chloride is a cell permeable protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor.
