HIDE SMILES / InChI
Chelerythrine is a kind of benzo[c] phenanthridine alkaloids, which is widely found in plant of Fumariaceae, Papaveraceae, Ranunculaceae and Rutaceae families. Chelerythrine is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein kinase C. In addition chelerythrine inhibits pro-survival protein Bcl(XL) thereby inducing apoptosis. It exerts antitumor properties.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Centrally administered chelerythrine is CNS active in animals. No human data available.
