Function of Oxymatrine 

1. Viral hepatitis
In recent years, oxymatrine has been recommended for treating chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis 
C and has been shown effective in clinical practice. It has been utilized for these applications broadly, but the factors affecting its efficacy have not yet been determined. 
2. Cardiac diseases
Sophora and its alkaloids are commonly used in China for treatment of heart arrhythmias. A possible 
mechanism of action is to help block sodium and calcium channels, a mechanism relied on by several 
antiarrhythmic pharmaceuticals. 
3. Skin care
Sophora is frequently used in treatment of skin diseases, applied topically and consumed orally. One of 
the primary uses for topical therapy is treatment of vaginitis, particularly that due to candida infection.

Description of Oxymatrine 

Matrine and oxymatrine are the two major alkaloid components found in sophora roots. They are obtained primarily from Sophora japonica (kushen), but also from Sophora subprostrata (shandougen), and from the above ground portion of Sophora alopecuroides.
In China, the alkaloids are often given by injection, but this method of administration is not acceptable in the West, so oral dosing is used here instead. When taken orally, much of the oxymatrine is converted to matrine; to get high blood levels of oxymatrine, it must be given by injection. However, it is unclear whether oxymatrine is clinically more effective than matrine. Chinese researchers have also used the alkaloids in capsule form, with results that appear similar to the injection. Sophora is also administered in complex formulas made as decoctions and taken orally
