Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Breviscapine is a plant flavonoid that is isolated from Erigerin breviscapus.[1] Breviscapine is widely used for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases and cerebrovascular injury.[1] Breviscapine can relieve the paralysis caused by cerebral infarction, hypertension and chronic arachnoiditis along with their sequelae.[2] Furthermore, breviscapine has anticoagulation effect and can protect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.[2] In vitro, breviscapine inhibits the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and exert proapoptotic effect on HepG2 cells.[2] Meanwhile, breviscapine protects the injury of cortical neuron and decreases the intracellular calcium overloading induced by H2O2.[3] In vivo, in the model of vascular dementia rats, breviscapine (2 mg/kg for 14 days) improves the performance of learning and memory, decreases the level of lipid peroxidation and free radicals, and attenuates the pathological alterations.[3]

Protocols

In vitro: Breviscapine is dissolved in 0.1% DMSO.[2]
