波尔定碱是最初从| Peumus boldus |的叶子中提取出的一种磷化氢生物碱，是一种抗氧化剂和有效的自由基清除剂。在红细胞上进行的实验表明，该化合物是一种强的细胞保护剂，可以保护细胞免受化学诱导的溶血损害。其他研究表明，Boldine可能具有抗炎和抗增殖特性，并具有导致细胞周期停滞在G | 2 | / M期的能力。 Boldine, an aporphine alkaloid originally extracted from the leaves of|Peumus boldus|, is an antioxidant and a potent free-radical scavenger. Experiments on red cells show this compound to be a strong cytoprotective agent|in vitro|that protects cells against chemically induced hemolytic damage. Additional studies indicate that Boldine may contain anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties, and the ability to cause cell cycle arrest at the G|2|/M phase.
