Functions

A indoloquinazoline alkaloid found in various plant species and possessing intriguing pharmacological activities.1 Suppresses activation of BV2 microglia cells following LPS treatment and reduces production of proinflammatory cytokines via Nrf2, HO-1 and NFκB signaling. Displays antiinflammatory activity targeting IL-17. Inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) with an IC50 of 5-17 μM. Induces growth inhibition and neuronal differentiation in human neuroblastoma LA-N-1 cells.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 30 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.
