Abstract:
Demethyleneberberine(DMB),one of the active me-tabolite of berberine,displays versatile pharmacological proper-ties.Numerous studies indicate diverse biological activities,such as actions against infection,inflammation,fibrosis,cancer cells,blood lipids,etc.It presents considerable potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases.This article provides a con-cise review of the pharmacological actions and mechanisms made in demethyleneberberine research to facilitate a deeper under-standing of its pharmacology and provide a scientific foundation for its prudent development.
