Dehydrocorydaline hydroxyl (13-Methylpalmatine) is an alkaloid that modulates the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins, activates caspase-7 and caspase-8, and inactivates PARP. It enhances the activation of p38 MAPK and exhibits anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Additionally, it shows potent antimalarial activity with low cytotoxicity (cell viability > 90%) against the P. falciparum 3D7 strain (IC50 = 38 nM).
