    Product Description

    Oxyacanthine is an alkaloid that has been found in B. crataegina and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits viral replication in Vero E6 cells infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; IC50 = 14.5 µM).1 Oxyacanthine induces relaxation of potassium-precontracted rat aortic rings (EC50 = 17.4 µM) and inhibits norepinephrine-, phenylephrine-, or serotonin-induced contractions in rat aortic rings in a concentration-dependent manner.2 In vivo, oxyacanthine (100 and 200 mg/kg) reduces acetic acid-induced vascular permeability but also induces gastric ulcers in mice.3
