Isocorydine is a member of the class of compounds known as aporphines. Isocorydine is practically insoluble in water and weakly acidic. It is a naturally occurring plant metabolite which can be found in cherimoya and poppy. Isocorydine has generated interest as a potential anti-cancer compound for its ability to induce G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

The human HCC cell lines SMMC-7721, MHCC-97L and Huh7 were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and supplemented with 100 IU/mL penicillin G and 100 micro-g/mL streptomycin. Incubations were conducted at 37 deg-C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Cell cultures were incubated with various concentrations (0 - 459 micro-g/mL) of Isocorydine for 48 hours. Isocorydine exhibited dose-dependent growth inhibition profile. IC50 values for each cell line were determined as 200, 250 and 300 µg/ml for SMMC-7721, Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5, respectively.
