Berbamine hydrochloride (CAS: 6078-17-7) is an isoquinoline alkaloid derivative isolated from plants of the Berberidaceae family. It exerts its biological effects primarily through modulation of various signaling pathways, including inhibition of STAT3 activation and disruption of calcium homeostasis in cells. Berbamine hydrochloride has been investigated for its ability to suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis in multiple cancer cell types, as well as for its immunomodulatory properties. It is widely used in studies exploring mechanisms of tumorigenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic strategies in cancer and immune-related research.
