DL-Tetrahydropalmatine (dl-THP), an active component isolated from Corydalis species (a Chinese herbal medicine). dl-THP has inhibitory effects on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in mice. The drug demonstrated anxiolytic and anti-nociceptive effects in animal models. dl-THP may act through inhibition of amygdaloid dopamine release to inhibit an epileptic attack – it is a very effective anti-epileptogenic and anticonvulsant agent. dl-THP has been found to have antihypertensive effects. It acts through the 5-HT2 and/or D2-receptor antagonism in the hypothalamus to induce hypotension and bradycardia in rats.

In Vitro Use Guide

In an isolated perfused rat heart model, dl-tetrahydropalmatine (THP) at the concentration of 100 uM was found to have a negative effect (-45%) on left ventricular pressure and this effect was produced concentration-dependently from concentrations lower than 50 uM. In isolated cardiomyocytes, radioactive calcium influx was also inhibited significantly by THP at the concentration of 100 uM and this effect was also in a concentration-dependent manner (-39%).
