| Bioactivity | Cycleanine is a potent vascular selective Calcium antagonist. Cycleanine has analgesic, muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory activities. Cycleanine has potential for anti-ovarian cancer acting through the apoptosis pathway[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Cycleanine inhibits L-type Ca-current (ICaL) of single rat ventricular cardiomyocytes in a voltage- and frequency-dependent manner[1].Cycleanine shows modestly less potency against human OSE cells (normal) than the cancer cells[2].Cycleanine (20 μM; 48 hours) exhibits cytotoxicity for Ovcar-8, A2780, Igrov-1, and Ovcar-4 cell lines with IC50s ranging from 7 to 14 μM[2].Cycleanine (20 μM; 24 hours) results in significant PARP cleavage (a marker of apoptosis)[2].Cycleanine (20 μM; 48 hours) causes a significant increase of the population of both early and late apoptotic cells[2].
