Nuciferine, a major aporphine alkaloid of the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera, was found to decrease serum urate levels and improved kidney function, as well as inhibited system and renal interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mice. Furthermore, nuciferine reversed

Diacetyl-liensinine is a chemosynthetic derivative of liensinine, extracted from the seed embryo of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, in China. It has been found to have extensive anti- arrhythmic actions. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of diacetyl-liensinine on electro- physiology

BACKGROUND Several Asian plants are known for their anti-diabetic properties and produce alkaloids and flavonoids that may stimulate insulin secretion. METHODS Using Vietnamese plants (Nelumbo nucifera, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, Smilax glabra, and Stemona tuberosa), we extracted two alkaloids

Neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid present in Nelumbo nucifera, has been reported to exhibit neuroprotective effects. Because reduced glutamatergic transmission through inhibition of glutamate release has been proposed as a mechanism of neuroprotection, we investigated whether and how
