Biological Activity
| Description | Berbamine (BA, BBM) dihydrochloride, a traditional Chinese medicines extracted from Berberis amurensis (xiaoboan), is a novel inhibitor of bcr/abl fusion gene with potent anti-leukemia activity and also an inhibitor of NF-κB. Berbamine (BA, BBM) dihydrochloride induces apoptosis in human myeloma cells and inhibits the growth of cancer cells by targeting Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). | |||

| Targets |
|
|||
| In vitro | Berbamine (BBM) potently suppresses liver cancer cell proliferation and induces cancer cell death by targeting Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII). Through targeting CAMKII, BBM's inhibition on cancer cells might have broader effects beyond affecting JAK/STAT3 and p210bcr-abl, because CAMKIIγ directly impacts many other signal pathways including STAT1, NF-κB, JNK, ERK1/2, FOXO1, and Wnt/β-catenin[1]. BBM can effectively inhibit tumor metastasis by suppressing cell proliferation, migration and invasion in highly metastatic breast cancer cells under in vitro condition[2]. Berbamine inhibits proliferation of K562-r cells both in vitro and in vivo. Berbamine-induced apoptosis in K562-r cells appear to occur through a mechanism involving Bcl-2 family proteins, as well as mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp protein. Berbamine in combination restore the chemo-sensitivity of K562-r cells[3]. |
|||
| In vivo | BBM inhibits the in vivo tumorigenicity of liver cancer cells in NOD/SCID mice, and down-regulated the self-renewal abilities of liver cancer initiating cells[1]. BBM shows its anticancer activity by induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and reversing multidrug resistance. Though BBM is a potent drug but its half-life in blood plasma is very short, owing to its quick renal clearance[2]. |
