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.
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.

The interaction of berberine and its 9-substituted derivatives with human telomeric DNA d[G(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3)](telo21) has been investigated via CD spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, PCR-stop assay, competitive dialysis, and telomerase repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay. The results indicated that these semisynthesized compounds could

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
