Biological Activity

Mesaconitine increases the [Ca2+]i level in endothelial cells by influx of Ca2+ from extracellular spaces, suggests that mesaconitine-induced Ca2+ influx and activation of nitric-oxide synthase in endothelial cells and, thus, induced vasorelaxation in rat aorta.[1]
Mesaconitine is highly toxic, can inhibit Efflux transporters, including P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistance-associated protein isoform 2 (MRP2).[2]
Mesaconitine has antinociceptive activity, has inhibition of stimulus-triggered and spontaneous epileptiform activity in rat hippocampal slices.[3,4]
Mesaconitine has antiinflammatory activity, can inhibit carrageenin-induced hind-paw edema in sham-operated mice as well as adrenalectomized mice, it do not affect the biosynthesis of the prostaglandins. [5]
