Coptisine is a natural occurring isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Rhizoma coptidis. Coptisine has been reported to have protective effects on reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes, however, the underlying mechanism remains uncertain. Here, we used a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-treated H9c2 cell model to study the protective effects of coptisine on cardiomyocyte. The results showed that NaSO induced hypoxia/reoxygenation model increased apoptosis and up-regulated autophagy marker LC3-II and cleaved Caspase-3, Beclin1 and Sirt1 levels. Coptisine treatment increased cell survival, inhibited apoptosis, and reduced the protein level of LC3-II, cleaved Caspase-3, Beclin1 and Sirt1. Further, we showed that coptisine combined with chloroquine (CQ), the inhibitor of autolysosome, reduced LC3-II, suggesting that coptisine may inhibit autophagosome formation than induction of autolysosome in the autophagy events. Our results indicate that coptisine may protect cardiomyocyte damage by H/R through suppressing autophagy. Overall, our study provides a new mechanism for the treatment of coptisine on H/R-induced cardiomyocyte damage and death.

Esophageal carcinoma is a highly prevalent malignancy worldwide. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which the natural compound coptisine affects pyroptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The expression of c-Met in ESCC patients was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis of tissue microarrays.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Banxia Xiexin Decoction (BXD) is a traditional herbal formulation with a bitter flavor that has a long-standing history of use in Asia for treating functional dyspepsia (FD). In traditional Chinese medicine, the bitter flavor is believed to play a critical role in the therapeutic activity of BXD. The ethnopharmacological properties of bitter plant extracts are closely associated with their anti-inflammatory effects, which may contribute to their efficacy in FD.

Coptisine (COP) is a natural protoberberine isoquinoline alkaloid that is isolated from Coptis chinensis and exhibits a variety of pharmacological activities, such as the inhibition of tumor growth, bacterial infection, inflammation and oxidative stress. In this study, COP penetrated and produced fluorescent signals in living tumor cell lines, primary MEF cells and polyformaldehyde-fixed cells. The fluorescent signal was detected at a wavelength of 488 nm.

Background: Multidrug resistance (MDR), mainly caused by ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABCTs) efflux, makes it difficult for many anticancer drugs to treat breast cancer (BC). Phytochemicals can reverse cancer's MDR by modifying ABC transporter expression and function, as well as working synergistically with anticancer drugs to target other molecules. The reversal effect of the isoquinoline alkaloid coptisine (COP) was assessed on four breast cell lines; Two sensitive MCF-7 cell lines with positive estrogen, androgen, progesterone, and glucocorticoid receptors, as well as MDB-MB-231 cells with negative estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors, and two doxorubicin-resistant cell lines, MCF-7/ADR and MDB-MB-231/ADR.

Introduction: Huangma Tincture (HMT) is a Chinese patent medicine with a history of clinical use for more than 60 years, widely used for treating dermal chronic ulcer such as diabetic foot ulcer. However, the overall quality evaluation and control method of HMT has not yet been researched.
Objective: The aim of this study is to establish a comprehensive quality evaluation and control method for HMT based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint, chemometrics, and multicomponent content determination.
