Description
An aporphine alkaloid; reduces the action potential duration and amplitude in isolated canine Purkinje fibers at 100 µM; induces relaxation of norepinephrine-precontracted isolated rabbit aortic strips (EC50 = 12.6 µM); cytotoxic to A549 lung cancer cells (IC50 = 197.73 µM), as well as Huh7, HepG2, SNU-449, and SNU-387 hepatic cancer cells (IC50s = 161.3, 148, 262.2, and 254.1 µg/ml, respectively); reduces tumor growth in a Huh7 mouse xenograft model when used in combination with doxorubicin
