Oxymatrine

Brief Introduction

Matrine and oxymatrine are two major alkaloid components found in sophora roots. They are obtained primarily from Sophora japonica (kushen), Sophora subprostrata (shandougen), and also from the above ground portion of Sophora alopecuroides. The matrines were first isolated and identified in 1958. They are unique tetracyclo-quinolizindine alkaloids (see Figure 1) found only in Sophora species thus far. An intensive investigation into the pharmacology and clinical applications of these alkaloids has gone on for the past decade and remains one of the focal points of Chinese medical research. The main clinical applications are treatment for cancer, viral hepatitis, cardiac diseases (such as viral myocarditis), and skin diseases (such as psoriasis and eczema).
