Description

Cularine is a natural alkaloid isolated from the medicinal plant *Cissampelos pareira*. It has been shown to exhibit a variety of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-cancer effects. Cularine’s mechanism of action is believed to involve inhibition of several enzymes, including cyclooxygenase (COX) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Cularine has also been shown to interact with the cannabinoid system, leading to potential therapeutic effects in conditions such as chronic pain and anxiety. It is also being investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Research is ongoing to further understand its pharmacological properties and potential therapeutic applications.'

Drug Classes (1)

ClassDescription
alkaloidAny of the naturally occurring, basic nitrogen compounds (mostly heterocyclic) occurring mostly in the plant kingdom, but also found in bacteria, fungi, and animals. By extension, certain neutral compounds biogenetically related to basic alkaloids are also classed as alkaloids. Amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, amino sugars and antibiotics are not normally regarded as alkaloids. Compounds in which the nitrogen is exocyclic (dopamine, mescaline, serotonin, etc.) are usually classed as amines rather than alkaloids.
