Features:
Berbamine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, meaning it is composed of two benzylisoquinoline moieties. Its unique structure distinguishes it from many other natural alkaloids Berbamine is most often isolated from the plant Berberis, commonly known as barberry. Various species within this genus have been used in traditional Chinese medicine and other herbal traditions. plants in genera like Stephania have also been reported to contain bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids like berbamine. These plants are used in various parts of Asia both for their stimulant effects and other medicinal purposes.

Oxidative Stress:
Berbamine can increase the production of reactive oxygen species within cancer cells. Elevated ROS levels may push cancer cells beyond their threshold of tolerance, leading to oxidative stress–induced cell death. This property also ties in with its ability to modulate apoptosis and autophagy.

Berbamine is a promising natural compound with multifaceted anticancer properties. Its ability to induce apoptosis, cause cell cycle arrest, modulate key signal transduction pathways (such as JAK/STAT, NF-κB, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR), and affect autophagy, makes it a candidate for further investigation in various cancer models.

A calcium channel blocker.
