Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Lycorine not only possesses strong pharmacological effects on many diseases, including anti-leukemia, anti-tumor, anti-angiogenesis, anti-virus, anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation, and anti-malaria, but also exerts many other biological functions, such as inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and topoisomerase, suppression of ascorbic acid biosynthesis, and control of circadian period length. Lycorine inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line HL-60, monocyte leukemia cell line U937, and T-cell leukemia cell line Jurkat. Lycorine also blocks multiple myeloma KM3 cell cycle, induces K562 cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and suppresses tumorigenesis and the growth of various tumor cells, including melanoma C8161, ovarian cancer Hey1B, lung cancer A549, glioblatatoma U373, and esophageal cancer OE21. Lycorine can inhibit protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, and acetylcholinesterase activity.
In vivo
Lycorine exhibits its numerous pharmacological effects on various diseases with very low toxicity and mild side effects. In vivo studies, lycorine effectively inhibits tumor growth in several mouse xenograft models. It effectively inhibits tumor neovascularization. Lycorine has trivial toxicity to normal cells and normal bodies. The animal toxicological experiments show that the 50% lethal death rate (LD50) of lycorine in mice is 112.2±0.024 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection. The LD50 of lycorine in mice is 344 mg/kg via gastric lavage injection, suggesting that lycorine is very low toxicity in gastrointestinal administration. In vivo studies show that lycorine has linear plasma kinetics with a mean elimination half-life of 0.67 and 0.3 h after single s.c. and i.v. administration, respectively. The mean oral bioavailability is calculated to be about 40%. Biochemical and hematological parameters of safety studies indicate no pathological signs.
