4076 Sanguinarine Sanguinarine is found in opium poppy. Consumption of Sanguinarine, present in poppy seeds and in the oil of <i>Argemone mexicana</i> which has been used as an adulterant for mustard oil in India, has been linked to development of glaucoma. Sanguinarine is banned by FDA. Sanguinarine is a quaternary ammonium salt from the group of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids. It is extracted from some plants, including bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), Mexican prickly poppy Argemone mexicana, Chelidonium majus and Macleaya cordata. It is also found in the root, stem and leaves of the opium poppy but not in the capsule. Sanguinarine is a toxin that kills animal cells through its action on the Na+-K+-ATPase transmembrane protein. Epidemic dropsy is a disease that results from ingesting sanguinarine. Sanguinarine has been shown to exhibit antibiotic, anti-apoptotic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic functions Sanguinarine belongs to the family of Benzoquinolines. These are organic compounds containing a benzene fused to a quinoline ring system. (A3208, A3209, A3208, A3208, A3208). 2447-54-3 5154 C20H14NO4 White powder. 266°C Sanguinarine, at micromolar concentrations, imparts cell growth inhibitory response in human squamous carcinoma (A431) cells via an induction of apoptosis. This is while sanguinarine treatment did not result in apoptosis of the normal human epidermal keratinocytes at similar dose. Sanguinarine [0.1 (M-2 (M)] treatment to HaCaT cells was found to inhibit in a dose-dependent manner the cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, as measured by 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and ELISA, respectively. Sanguinarine treatment also resulted in a significant cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in HaCaT cells. Sanguinarine treatment to HaCaT cells resulted in a dose-dependent (a) increase in the level of Bax with a concomitant decrease in Bcl-2 levels and (b) increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Sanguinarine also resulted in significant increases in the proapoptotic members of Bcl-2 family proteins, i.e., Bak and Bid. This was accompanied by increase in (a) protein expression of cytochrome c and apoptotic protease-activating factor-1 and (b) activity and protein expression of caspase-3, caspase-7, caspase-8, and caspase-9. This indicates the involvement of mitochondrial pathway and Bcl-2 family proteins during sanguinarine-mediated apoptosis of immortalized keratinocytes.
