Coclaurine

Coclaurine is a class of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids that can be isolated from Sarcopetalum harveyanum with anticancer activity. Coclaurine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) antagonist. Coclaurine is a key molecule in S. tetrandra responsible for EFHD2 inhibition. Coclaurine can downregulate EFHD2-related NOX4-ABCC1 signaling and enhanced Cisplatin (HY-17394) sensitivity. Coclaurine suppresses the stemness and metastatic properties of NSCLC cells. Coclaurine disrupts the interaction between the transcription factor FOXG1 and the EFHD2 promoter, leading to a reduction in EFHD2 transcription[1][2][3][4].
