Cepharanthine is a naturally occurring alkaloid extracted from the plant Stephania cepharantha. Known for its diverse pharmacological properties, Cepharanthine exhibits anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. It has been traditionally used in Japan to treat conditions like alopecia, snake bites, and radiation-induced leukopenia. More recently, Cepharanthine has gained attention for its potential antiviral activity, including against SARS-CoV-2. Its ability to inhibit various cellular pathways makes it a promising candidate for research in cancer therapy and other diseases, contributing to its growing interest in pharmaceutical studies.
