Abstract: | The putative anticancer alkaloids berberine, palmatine, jatrorrhizine, and sanguinarine are known to bind to nucleic acids. To develop them as potential drugs for therapeutic use, their binding affinity to functional proteins and mode of transport in the circulatory system need to be clearly understood. Towards this, many studies on their binding aspects to proteins have been reported and a considerable amount of data, mostly of biophysical nature, exists in the literature. The importance of these natural isoquinoline alkaloids and the recent literature on their interaction phenomena with functional proteins, serum albumins, hemoglobin, and lysozyme are presented in this review. |
