Cepharanthine is a compound that functions as a calcium channel blocker, inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into cells. It also acts as a P-glycoprotein inhibitor, preventing the efflux of certain substances from cells. At the molecular level, Cepharanthine interacts with specific cellular proteins and receptors, modulating their activity and influencing various cellular processes. Cepharanthine may affect the expression of certain genes and proteins, leading to alterations in cellular function. Cepharanthine displays antioxidant properties, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress within cells. Its mechanism of action involves the modulation of various signaling pathways and cellular processes, ultimately impacting cell function and viability. Cepharanthine plays a role in modulating cellular physiology and function, making it a subject of interest in experimental research applications.
