Medchemexpress LLC Boldine | 476-70-0 | 5 MG
Boldine is an apomorphine isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the root of the pheasant pepper (Litsea cubeba). It is an orally effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor agent that can inhibit osteoclast formation. Boldine induces apoptosis of human bladder cancer cells by regulating ERK, AKT, and GSK-3β, and it ameliorates bone destruction by down-regulating the OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling pathway. It can be used in rheumatoid arthritis research.
