Chemical Taxonomy
Description belongs to the class of organic compounds known as matrine alkaloids. These are lupin alkaloids with a structure based on the matrine skeleton, a four-ring skeleton that based on a saturated dipyrido[2,1-f:3',2',1'-ij][1,6]naphthyridin-10-one skeleton.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityThe nervous system is the main target organ by the toxicity of matrine. Morphological observation revealed degenerative changes of the nerve cells in the brain tissue of the mice. (1) Matrine has a variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer effects, and action as a kappa opioid receptor and µ-receptor agonist. Matrine possesses strong antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis are the likely mechanisms responsible for matrine's antitumor activities. (Wikipedia)
