  • Publication number: 20240016765
    Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of an alkaloid compound in the preparation of products for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiac damage. Activity studies are conducted on the alkaloid compound, and it is verified that the alkaloid compound provided by the present invention is capable of inhibiting apoptosis induced by cardiotoxic effects. Specifically, it can inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by the anthracycline DOX by down-regulating the expression level of p-JNK and/or Cleaved-Caspase-3, thus preventing and/or treating cardiomyocyte toxicity. The alkaloid compound can be used in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases related to cardiac damage.
