Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Sanguinarine chloride hydrate was tested for anti-schistosomal activities against Schistosoma mansoni.9 It was tested for anti-lipase activity against Candida rugosa lipase.10_x000D_ Sanguinarine chloride hydrate yields clear, orange solution in methanol at 20 mg/ml._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 5, 25 mg in glass insert_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ A natural product with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. Has antiproliferative, pro-apoptosis effects in some cancer cell lines._x000D_ Sanguinarine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid isolated from plants belonging to the family Papaveracea. It exhibits anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It induces cell cycle arrest and sensitizes cancer cells to apoptosis by activating TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand.6,7 It inhibits STAT3, MMP-2, MMP-9, interacts with glutathione, induces generation of ROS, disrupts the microtubule assembly and causes DNA damage resulting the death of the cancer cells.6,7,8_x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ This compound is also offered as part of Sigma′s Library of Pharmacologically Active Compounds (LOPAC®1280), a biologically annotated collection of high-quality, ready-to-screen compounds.
