Product Description
Roemerine is an alkaloid extracted from the leaves of Fibraurea recisa Pierre and acts through P-glycoprotein. Roemerine reverses the multidrug resistance phenotype in cultured cells.
Roemerine (CAS#: 548-08-3), also known as (-)-roemerine, is an aporphine-type alkaloid and an isoquinoline alkaloid. It has the molecular formula C18H17NO2 and a molecular weight of 279.33. Roemerine is isolated from plants such as Fibraurea recisa, Annona, and Magnolia species. It is known for its diverse pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, and antidepressant effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Roemerine interacts with multiple molecular targets. It exhibits antibacterial effects by regulating the cAMP signaling pathway. It has been identified as a potential xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitor, which is relevant for the treatment of gout. It can reverse the multidrug resistance phenotype in cultured cells. It also upregulates BDNF protein expression and modulates serotonergic/glutamatergic systems to produce antidepressant effects.
ln Vitro
In vitro, roemerine has demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. It exhibits anticancer activity, induces apoptosis, and inhibits tumor cell proliferation. It reverses multidrug resistance in cultured cells. It has anti-inflammatory and vasorelaxant effects. It also shows significant anti-plasmodial activities with IC50 values ranging from 1.2 μM to 52.3 μM. It increases cell membrane permeability in a concentration-dependent manner.
ln Vivo
In vivo, roemerine has been studied for its antidepressant activity. It exerts antidepressant effects by upregulating BDNF protein expression and modulating serotonergic/glutamatergic systems. Its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer effects are also being investigated. In animal studies, it causes an increase in excitability, convulsions, and vomiting. Its broad bioactivity profile makes it a valuable natural compound for drug discovery.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays for roemerine include measuring its inhibition of xanthine oxidase (XOD). Its anti-plasmodial activity is assessed in cell-free systems measuring parasite growth. Its interaction with the cAMP signaling pathway can also be studied in vitro. Its purity (>95%) is confirmed by HPLC. Its molecular weight and formula are established.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for roemerine measure its effects on cancer cells, bacteria, and parasites. Its ability to reverse multidrug resistance is tested in cultured cells. Its anticancer effects are evaluated by measuring apoptosis and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. Antibacterial assays measure its activity against E. coli. Its effect on cell membrane permeability is also studied.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for roemerine include toxicity studies where the LD50 in mice is 5079.5 mg/kg (subcutaneous) and 38.8 mg/kg (intravenous). In rabbits, the intravenous LD50 is 26.4 mg/kg. These studies observe effects such as increased excitability, convulsions, and vomiting. Its antidepressant and other pharmacological effects are studied in appropriate animal models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Roemerine has a molecular weight of 279.33 and a molecular formula of C18H17NO2. It is an aporphine-type alkaloid. It is a solid powder with a purity of ≥95%. It is soluble in organic solvents. It should be stored under recommended conditions. Its logP value suggests moderate lipophilicity. Its pharmacokinetic properties are not well characterized but are typical of alkaloids.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of roemerine shows that it is toxic at high doses. The LD50 in mice is 5079.5 mg/kg (subcutaneous) and 38.8 mg/kg (intravenous). In rabbits, the intravenous LD50 is 26.4 mg/kg. It causes an increase in excitability, convulsions, and vomiting in animal studies. These findings indicate that roemerine has a narrow therapeutic window and should be handled with care.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
