Oxymatrine

동의어: Oxymatrine, Matrine N-oxide, Ammothamnine, Sophora flavescens root extract, Kushen extract, C15H24N2O2

Oxymatrine is a quinolizidine alkaloid N-oxide derived from the roots of Sophora flavescens Ait. Its structure features a tetracyclic quinolizidine core with an N-oxide functional group, which enhances its polarity and water solubility compared to matrine. This modification also influences its pharmacokinetic profile and interaction with biological targets, making it a compound of interest in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research.

Commercially, oxymatrine is available as a high-purity extract or synthetic derivative, standardized to ≥98% purity (HPLC). It is typically produced through extraction from Sophora flavescens roots followed by purification steps such as crystallization or chromatography. The compound is widely used in antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective applications, as well as in research on fibrosis and immune modulation.

With its established safety profile and diverse bioactivities, oxymatrine serves as a valuable ingredient in formulations targeting liver health, viral infections, and inflammatory conditions. Its stability and solubility facilitate incorporation into various dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and injectables.

Chemical Structure & Properties

Oxymatrine (C15H24N2O2) is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 264.36 g/mol. The N-oxide group confers increased polarity, making it freely soluble in water and ethanol, and slightly soluble in less polar solvents like acetone. It is stable under normal storage conditions but should be protected from light and moisture to prevent degradation. The compound’s quinolizidine skeleton is responsible for its rigid conformation and specific receptor interactions.

작용 기전

• Antiviral activity: Inhibits viral replication by interfering with viral entry and RNA synthesis, particularly against hepatitis B and C viruses.
• Anti-inflammatory effects: Suppresses NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.
• Hepatoprotection: Protects hepatocytes from oxidative damage and inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation, mitigating liver fibrosis.
• Immune modulation: Regulates T-cell and macrophage functions, balancing Th1/Th2 responses.
• Anti-fibrotic activity: Downregulates TGF-β1 and collagen deposition in fibrotic tissues.
