Ethoxysanguinarine (Eth) is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid extracted from Macleaya cordata (Willd) R. Br. It possesses antibacterial and antiviral activities and offers therapeutic benefits for the treatment of respiratory syndrome virus-induced cytopathic effects. However, the effect of Eth

Sanguinarine is a natural compound isolated from the roots of Macleaya cordata and M. microcarpa, has been reported to possess several biological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. In the present study, we demonstrated that sanguinarine markedly induces the expression of

The antifungal activities of dihydrosanguinarine and dihydrochelerythrine, isolated from the leaves of Macleaya microcarpa, were evaluated on 12 plant pathogenic fungi; the two compounds exhibited the highest antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea Pers. Among the 11 tested plant pathogenic

BACKGROUND Macarpine (MA) is a quaternary benzophenanthridine plant alkaloid isolated from Macleaya microcarpa or Stylophorum lasiocarpum. Benzophenanthridine alkaloids are interesting natural products that display antiproliferative, antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory activities, and

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the crude extract of the whole plant of Macleaya cordata R. Br. led to the isolation of four alkaloids, which were identified as sanguinarine (1), chelerythrine (2), protopine (3) and alpha-allocryptopine (4) on the basis of their physicochemical and spectrometric

The present study aims to evaluate the anthelmintic properties of aerial part of Macleaya microcarpa (Maxim) Fedde. Bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation of the compounds with anthelmintic activity were performed on the ethanolic extract of M. microcarpa yielding five bioactive alkaloids

Chlortetracycline (CTC), one kind of common antibiotic for prevention and treatment of various diseases, also exhibits good performance in accelerating the growth of livestock. Macleaya cordata, a traditional Chinese medicine, is usually used as a natural additive in livestock because of its

Macleaya cordata (Willd) R. Br. is a medicinal plant. The most important bioactive compounds of M. cordata are alkaloids that have many biological activities including anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor. In this study, an ionic-liquid-modified high speed counter-current chromatography

BACKGROUND Alkaloids with significant therapeutic effects are the main active constituents of Macleaya cordata, which is a perennial herb plant in the Papaveraceae family. A systematic and novel method for speculating and identifying the structures of alkaloids in M. cordata fruits by

BACKGROUND Sub-therapeutic antibiotics are widely used as growth promoters in the poultry industry; however, the resulting antibiotic resistance threatens public health. A plant-derived growth promoter, Macleaya cordata extract (MCE), with effective ingredients of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, is a

This study examines the effects of dietary Macleaya cordata extract (MCE) on bacterial burden and resistance to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in ICR mice. ICR mice were randomly distributed into one of the following groups: (i) basal diet; (ii) basal diet with 200 mg kg^-1 MCE;

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte B4 (EphB4) has recently been reported to be an oncogenic factor in many cancers and overexpressed in several types of tumors. Thus, EphB4 has the potential to be a therapeutic target in these malignancies. High-performance affinity chromatography has been a
