Integrated experimental and computational investigation of sophoridine derivatives reveals antitumor potential and Topo I-associated mechanisms.

Sophoridine is a quinolizidine-type natural alkaloid with favorable structural modifiability and diverse biological activities. However, the pharmacological potential of sophoridine derivatives originally optimized for insecticidal activity remains largely unexplored. Here, a bioactivity repurposing strategy was applie...
