Description:
Scholaricine is a plant alkaloidal extract that has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in animals. A study on mice with melanoma showed that Scholaricine inhibited tumor progression by inhibiting the influenza virus and herpes simplex virus. Scholaricine has been studied in humans for its anti-inflammatory effects and was found to have therapeutic potential in the treatment of emphysema. The mechanism of action of Scholaricine is not fully understood, but it may be due to inhibition of protein synthesis or growth factor receptors.
