Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Fangchinoline is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid that acts as a potent HIV-1 inhibitor. It suppresses viral replication primarily by interfering with envelope glycoprotein gp160 processing, thereby blocking viral maturation and cellular infectivity. Furthermore, fangchinoline modulates downstream cellular signaling pathways to inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and exert anti-inflammatory and blood pressure-depressing activities in biological systems.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
