Phytochemical Name : Isotetrandrine

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-31
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Isotetrandrine
PMID 18717331
Literature evidence The ability of isotetrandrine to inhibit P-gp function was reversible, because incubation of MCF-7/DOX cells with isotetrandrine caused a marked increase in uptake and a notable decrease in efflux of Rh123 and a marked increase of intracellular DOX concentrations.
