Wallichinine
Wallichinine shows inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation caused by platelet activating factor (PAF). Wallichinine with ABCB1 presents valuable clues for the development of novel MDR reversal reagents from natural products, wallichinine can significantly potentiate the effects of two ABCB1 substrates vincristine and doxorubicin on inhibition of growth, arrest of cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in ABCB1 overexpressing cancer cells, and the overexpression of ABCB1 in cancer cells is one of the main reasons of cancer multidrug resistance (MDR).

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.

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.

The isolation and identification of PAF inhibitors from Piper wallichii (Miq.) Hand-Mazz and P. hancei Maxim[Pubmed:
2609983]
Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a highly potent endogenous phospholipid mediator, involved in various inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
As part of a research program dealing with PAF inhibitors isolated from Piper plant species, we have isolated kadsurenone (I), denudatin B (II), and N-isobutyl-deca-trans-2-trans-4-dienamide (III) from Piped wallichii (Miq.) Hand-Mazz. and P. hancei Maxim. In a continuing search for potential PAF inhibitor from plants, using PAF induced platelet aggregation as a guide, a new neolignan named hancinone D (IV) was isolated from P. hancei maxim. By X-ray analysis it was identified as a racemate. The X-ray analysis led to a revision of the previously made structure assignment of hancinone C. Another new neolignan named Wallichinine (V), which was identified as an analogue of (IV), along with the known compounds hancinone C (VI), galgravin (VII), dihydropiperlonguminine (VIII) and crotepoxide (IX) were isolated from P. wallichii (Miq.) Hand-Mazz. The structure determination was based upon spectroscopic analysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
All of the compounds were for the first time obtained from both plants. In the test of platelet aggregation caused by PAF, I, II, V, VI, VII showed inhibitory activity, whereas III, IV, VII, IX showed no activity.

Wallichinine reverses ABCB1-mediated cancer multidrug resistance.[Pubmed:
27508017]
Overexpression of ABCB1 in cancer cells is one of the main reasons of cancer multidrug resistance (MDR). Wallichinine is a compound isolated from piper wallichii and works as an antagonist of platelet activiating factor receptor to inhibit the gathering of blood platelet.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, we investigate the effect of Wallichinine on cancer MDR mediated by ABCB1 transporter. Wallichinine significantly potentiates the effects of two ABCB1 substrates vincristine and doxorubicin on inhibition of growth, arrest of cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in ABCB1 overexpressing cancer cells. Furthermore, Wallichinine do not alter the sensitivity of non-ABCB1 substrate cisplatin. Mechanistically, Wallichinine blocks the drug-efflux activity of ABCB1 to increase the intracellular accumulation of rhodamine 123 and doxorubicin and stimulates the ATPase of ABCB1 without alteration of the expression of ABCB1. The predicted binding mode shows the hydrophobic interactions of Wallichinine within the large drug binding cavity of ABCB1.
CONCLUSIONS:
At all, our study of the interaction of Wallichinine with ABCB1 presented herein provides valuable clues for the development of novel MDR reversal reagents from natural products.
