Cepharanthine (481-49-2) is a  naturally occurring alkaloid from Stephania cepharantha Hayata which possesses a number of pharmacological activities.1 Attenuates LPS-induced expression of TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-1b in macrophages and inhibits NF-kB activation.2 Induces mitophagy possibly by acting at GPR30 in hepatocellular carcinoma.3 Inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion and autophagy by downregulation of MYO1C an actin-based motor protein.4 Potently inhibits replication of SARS CoV-2 and homologous viruses.5
