Application areas:

Picrophylline has good antidepressant, sedative, hypnotic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic physiological activities, and can also reduce the stress damage of liver cells and stimulate the organism to exercise. Traditional psychiatric drugs have obvious mental dependence and addiction to a certain extent, but there are no reports about the psychological dependence of bitterophylline, so bitterophylline is a potential new type of clinical psychiatric drug. At the same time, although bitterophylline has antidepressant, sedative, hypnotic, and anti-inflammatory and analgesic pharmacological activities, the specific mechanism of action of bitterophylline needs to be further studied, and the exploration of its mechanism lays the foundation for its development and utilization as a functional food or drug. .
