Chelerythrine chloride is a potent, cell-permeable inhibitor of protein kinase C, with an IC₅₀ of 660 nM. Chelerythrine chloride inhibits the Bcl-XL-Bak BH3 peptide binding with IC₅₀ of 1.5 μM and displaces Bax from Bcl-XL. Chelerythrine chloride induces apoptosis and autophagy.

Chelerythrine inhibits the BclXL-Bak BH3 peptide binding with IC₅₀ of 1.5 μM and displaces Bax, a BH3-containing protein, from BclXL. Mammalian cells treated with Chelerythrine undergoes apoptosis with characteristic features that suggest involvement of the mitochondrial pathway^[1]. Chelerythrine treatment inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α level and NO production in LPS-induced murine peritoneal macrophages through selective inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) activation. Moreover, the effects of chelerythrine on NO and cytokine TNF-α production can possibly be explained by the role of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 in the regulation of inflammatory mediators expression^[2]. Chelerythrine shows cytotoxic effect on the human monocytic leukaemia cells with LD₅₀ value of 3.46 μM. Two hours after LPS stimulation, cells influenced by sanguinarine and Chelerythrine significantly decline the CCL-2 expression by a factors of 3.5 and 1.9^[3]. Chelerythrine chloride significantly enhances the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, chelerythrine chloride inhibits the phosphorylation of p38^[4].

Chelerythrine displays significant anti-inflammatory effects in experimentally induced mice endotoxic shock model in vivo through inhibition of LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) level and nitric oxide (NO) production in serum^[2]. Chelerythrine chloride (5 mg/kg/day, i.p.) induces apoptosis of RCC cells without significant toxicity to mice. Chelerythrine Chloride treatment leads to a dose-dependent accumulation of p53^[4].

Cell viability is evaluated via MTT assay. Cells (2×10³ HEK-293 cells/well and 3×10³ SW-839 cells/well) in 100 µL medium are seeded into 96-well plates, and incubated for 12 h. Next, the medium in each well is replaced with medium containing various concentrations of Chelerythrine Chloride, and the cells are incubated at 37°C for an additional 24 and 48 h. Subsequently, 20 µL MTT (5 mg/mL) is added to each well. Following an additional incubation at 37°C for 4 h, the supernatant is removed, and 100 µL DMSO is added to each well. The absorbance values (read at 540 nm) are determined using the iMark™ Microplate Absorbance Reader. The data are analyzed using Microplate Manager software (ver. 6.3; 1689520).

A total of 5×10⁶ SW-839 cells are mixed with Matrigel^®, and injected subcutaneously into the flanks of 14 5-week-old male BALB/c nude mice. The mice are maintained in 18×30-cm cages containing three mice each, at a temperature of 22°C using a 12 h light/dark cycle. Food and water is available ad libitum. The mice are randomLy divided into two groups (n=7). As previously described, the mice are administrated with chelerythrine chloride at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day via intraperitoneal injection for 5 weeks, with the first injection of chelerythrine chlorideurring 24 h after injection with the SW-839 cells. The control mice are administered with the same volume of PBS containing 1% DMSO. The volume and weight of the mouse tumors are measured once a week. All the mice are sacrificed 36 days subsequent to inoculation of the cancer cells, when the tumors are resected.
