Tetrandrine is a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that has been found in R. stephania roots and has diverse biological activities.{32196,32195,32197,32194} It induces autophagy in HeLa, MCF-7, and human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells when used at a concentration of 5 µM, an effect that can be reversed by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (Item No. 13242).{32196} Tetrandrine inhibits PAF-, thrombin-, collagen-, ADP-, or epinephrine-induced aggregation of isolated human platelets.{32195} Priming of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with tetrandrine (5 and 10 µM) reduces TNF-? secretion by RAW 264.7 cells in co-culture.{32197} Ear skin transplantation of tetrandrine-primed MSCs decreases ear levels of TNF-? in a mouse model of ear skin inflammation. Tetrandrine (1 mg/kg) increases soleus muscle levels of glucose transporter 4 (Glut4) and decreases plasma glucose levels in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104).{32194}
