Lycorine is a natural pyrrolo[de]phenanthridine ring-type alkaloid extracted from Amaryllidaceae. It has been reported to exhibit a wide range of physiological effects, including anti-viral, anti-malarial, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory. Although a defined target or mechanism of action of lycorine is still unknown, it is a candidate anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drug.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Lycorine was shown to cross the blood-brain barrier in mice. It is potentially CNS-active.

Sample Use Guides

In a preclinical study, mice were given lycorine at 5 mg/kg/day or 10 mg/kg/day.
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
In a cell viability assay, PC-3M, LNCaP, 22RV1, DU145 and PNT1A cells were treated with various concentrations of lycorine (0, 0.05, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 uM) for 48 hours.
