Bioactive Properties and Applications of Matrine

Anticancer Properties

Matrine exhibits significant anticancer activity against a variety of cancer cell lines, including liver, breast, lung, and gastric cancers. It induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibits proliferation of cancer cells.

Antiviral Effects

It has demonstrated antiviral activities against several viruses, including hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV). Matrine inhibits viral replication and can modulate immune responses to help control viral infections.

Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects

Matrine can modulate the immune system, reducing inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This makes it potentially useful in treating inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disorders.

Antibacterial Properties

Matrine has shown antibacterial effects against a range of bacterial pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It disrupts bacterial cell walls and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis.
