Abstract
Due to its irritant effects and the lack of desired properties, coptisine has low exploitation potentialities. The other proto-berberine alkaloids investigated resulted all endowed with activities for which they can be exploited as antifibrotic and cytoprotective agents. Stylopine globally proved to be the most promising compound, being endowed with revitalizing, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic and wound-healing promoting activities, and showing no toxic effects.
