Biological Activity

Description Tetrandrine, a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid derived from Stephania tetrandra, is a calcium channel blocker.
Targets
Calcium channel [1]
In vitro Tetrandrine inhibits voltage-gated Ca2+ currents with an IC50 of 10.1 mM in isolated nerve terminals of the rat neurohypophysis. Tetrandrine is a high-affinity blocker of the type II, maxi-Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel of the rat neurohypophysial terminals with an IC50 of 0.21 mM. [1] Another study shows that Tetrandrine also inhibits Ca(2+)-activated Cl- currents (I(Cl,Ca)) with an IC50 of 5.2 mM. [2] Tetrandrine inhibits the proliferation of human leukemic HL-60 cells via induction of apoptosis. [3]
In vivo LD50: Mice 158.9mg/kg (i.v.) [4], 365mg/kg (i.p.) [5]; Rats 646mg/kg (i.g.) [6]
