REVIEW Fangchinoline, an bisbenyzylisoquinoline macrocyclic alkaloid derived from the dry roots of Stephaniae tetrandrine S. Moore (Menispermaceae), has been shown to possess cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anantioxidant properties and antiviral properties. Fangchinoline can inhibit breast cancer cell and reduced expression of cyclin D1, cyclin D3, and cyclin E, and increased expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, p21/WAF1, and p27/KIP1. Moreover, fangchinoline also inhibited the kinase activities of CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6. These results suggest that Fangchinoline can inhibit human breast cancer cell proliferation and may have potential applications in cancer therapy. Fangcholine has also been shown to inhibit HIV1 replication replication by interfering with gp160 proteolytic processing.
