General description
Berberine Chloride form or Natural Yellow 18, is also known as 5,6-dihydro-9,10-dimethoxybenzo(g)-1,3-benzodioxolo (5,6-a) quinolizinium is a benzyl tetra isoquinoline plant alkaloid. Berberine contains a quaternary base and is commercially available in berberine chloride form.
Application
Berberine Chloride is a fluorescent stain used to stain heparin in mast cells. Berberine upregulates the expression of Pgp in hepatoma cells.
Fluorescent stain for heparin in mast cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
An alkaloid with weak antibiotic properties. Substrate for MDR efflux pumps. Antimicrobial activities of berberine is potentiated by the MDR inhibitor 5´-methoxyhydnocarpin (5´-MHC). Berberine upregulates the expression of Pgp in hepatoma cells. Treatment with berberine potentially results in the reduced accumulation of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Twenty-nine derivatives of berberine (1) or pseudoberberine (2) were designed, semisynthesized, and evaluated for their up-regulatory activity on the low-density-lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression. SAR analysis revealed that (i) the methylenedioxy group at the 2- and 3-position is an essential element
