CAS:Epiberberine is an alkaloid compound, which is a naturally occurring substance found in certain plants of the Berberidaceae family. It is derived specifically from some species of the Berberis genus. The molecular structure of epiberberine is similar to berberine, with slight variations that influence its biological activity. Epiberberine acts primarily by modulating specific cellular pathways, particularly those involved in energy metabolism. It has been observed to influence the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, which is crucial for cellular energy homeostasis. Through this mechanism, epiberberine can affect glucose uptake, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial function. Applications of epiberberine are being explored in the context of metabolic disorders. Its potential effects on glucose and lipid metabolism suggest possible therapeutic roles in managing conditions like type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. Further research is ongoing to elucidate its pharmacokinetics and long-term effects in biological systems. Understanding its comprehensive mode of action will be critical in determining its efficacy and safety in clinical settings.Formula:C20H18NO4Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:336.36 g/mol
