phellodendrine profile

Phellodendrine is a quaternary ammonium alkaloid found in the bark of the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense). It is a bioactive compound with a variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral activities. Phellodendrine is thought to exert its effects by inhibiting the activity of various enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase and phospholipase A2. Its anti-inflammatory properties have been studied in various models, including rodent models of arthritis and inflammation. Additionally, phellodendrine has shown potential for treating viral infections, such as influenza. The compound is also being investigated for its potential in treating cancer. Research into phellodendrine continues to explore its mechanisms of action and its potential therapeutic applications.'
