Orellanine, a nephrotoxic alkaloid found in Cortinarius orellanus, is an orally active and selective non-competitive inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase. Orellanine chelates iron, generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), induces DNA scission, forms ortho-semiquinone radicals, downregulates antioxidant defenses, and inhibits mitochondrial function. Orellanine induces caspase 8/9-mediated apoptosis. Orellanine inhibits synthesis of proteins, RNA, DNA, and mitochondrial protein synthesis, with metabolic activation required for cell-free protein synthesis inhibition. Orellanine can be used for the research of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, acute renal failure, chronic renal insufficiency, and kidney damage[1][2][3].
