γ-Fagarine (gamma-Fagarine) is a furoquinoline alkaloid found in numerous plant species, including some used in herbal medicine such as Huáng bǎi (黃栢), one of the fifty fundamental herbs of traditional Chinese medicine. Studies in vitro have shown it to exhibit mutagenic, anti-malaria, anti-cancer and antiviral properties, but it is unclear what role it plays in the medicinal uses of these plants due to the complex mixture of phytochemicals found alongside it.
