Murrayafoline A is a carbazole alkaloid that can be extracted from Murraya tetramera. Murrayafoline A directly targets Specificity protein 1 (Sp1), thereby inhibiting NF-kappaB and MAPK signaling pathways. Murrayafoline a induces a G0/G1-phase arrest in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells. Murrayafoline A attenuates the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway by promoting the degradation of intracellular beta-catenin proteins. Murrayafoline A enhances the contraction of rat ventricular myocytes and L-type calcium current by activating protein kinase C. Murrayafoline A inhibits LPS (HY-D1056)-induced neuroinflammation in vivo. Murrayafoline A can be used for the study of inflammation, vascular complications and colon cancer[1][2][3][4].
