Classified as diterpenoids, these metabolites are sensitive to light ( 7.4 Alkaloids: suppressors of apoptosis and metabolic dysfunction Alkaloids attenuate ALD by suppressing the MAPK/NF-B axis, thereby reducing ERK/JNK phosphorylation and TNF- production, which mitigates hepatocyte apoptosis ( Oxymatrine, a quinolizidine alkaloid from the roots of Sophora flavescens Aiton [Fabaceae], inhibits ERK1/2-mediated apoptosis and downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines ( Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as Coptis chinensis Franch
