Stephanine
l-Stephanine is a potent and highly selective alpha 1 adrenoceptor blocker, inhibits anococcygeus muscle contraction induced by phenylephrine with pA2 values of 6.76. Stephanine shows significant antiplasmodial activities with IC(50) ranged from 1.2 uM to 52.3 uM.
Stephanine and crebanine have high inhibitory activity against gram-positive animal pathogenic bacteria, with MIC values of 0.078-0.312g/l, but low inhibitory activity against gram-negative animal pathogenic bacteria, they also inhibit hyphal growth of the plant pathogens Cercospora kaki.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please email to: service@chemfaces.com
The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Antimicrobial activity of extract and two alkaloids from traditional Chinese medicinal plant Stephania dielsiana[Reference:
WebLink]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Two alkaloids, Stephanine and crebanine, were isolated from tubers of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Stephania dielsiana, using an activity-directed isolation method, and inhibitory activity of methanol extract, Stephanine and crebanine against ten animal pathogenic bacteria and eight plant pathogenic fungi was evaluated in vitro. The results showed that extract from S. dielsiana exhibited high inhibitory activity against five gram-positive and four gram-negative animal pathogenic bacteria, with MIC values of 0.625-7.5g/l; Stephanine and crebanine had high inhibitory activity against gram-positive animal pathogenic bacteria, with MIC values of 0.078-0.312g/l, but low inhibitory activity against gram-negative animal pathogenic bacteria.
CONCLUSIONS:
Methanol extract, Stephanine and crebanine also inhibited hyphal growth of the plant pathogens Cercospora kaki, Gymnosporangium haraeanum, Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani and Colletotrichum graminicola, and spores germination of Thielaviopsis paradoxa, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, Sphaceloma fawcettii and G. haraeanum.

New antiplasmodial alkaloids from Stephania rotunda.[Pubmed:
23127648 ]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A new aporphine alkaloid named vireakine (2) along with two known alkaloids Stephanine (1) and pseudopalmatine (8), described for the first time in Stephania rotunda, and together five known alkaloids tetrahydropalmatine (3), xylopinine (4), roemerine (5), cepharanthine (6) and palmatine (7) were isolated and identified. The structure of the new alkaloid was established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments and mass spectrometry. The compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiplasmodial and cytotoxic activities. All tested compounds showed significant antiplasmodial activities with IC(50) ranged from 1.2 μM to 52.3 μM with a good selectivity index for pseudopalmatine with IC(50) of 2.8 μM against W2 strain of Plasmodium falciparum and IC(50)>25 μM on K562S cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
This study provides evidence to support the use of Stephania rotunda for the treatment of malaria and/or fever by the healers. Alkaloids of the tuber exhibited antiplasmodial activity and particularly cepharanthine and pseudopalmatine.

Blocking actions of l-stephanine, xylopine and 7 other tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids on alpha adrenoceptors.[Pubmed:
2576175]
The blocking action and selectivity of 9 tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids on alpha adrenoceptors have been investigated in isolated tissues.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
DehydroStephanine and berbamine suppressed the inhibition of clonidine for the electrically stimulated twitch response of rat vas deferens, with pA2 values of 5.36 and 5.49, respectively. l-Crebanine, l-tetrahydrocoptisine, berberine, l-stepholidine and l-tetrahydropalmatine had obvious blocking effects on alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenoceptors. l-Stephanine and xylopine could competitively inhibit anococcygeus muscle contraction induced by phenylephrine with pA2 values of 6.76 and 6.68, respectively. These 2 alkaloids showed no effect on the inhibition of clonidine for contractile response of rat vas deferens to field stimulation, and their selectivity ratios to block alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenoceptors were 57.5 and 47.9, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results indicate that l-Stephanine and xylopine are 2 potent and highly selective alpha 1 adrenoceptor blockers.
