It is also a natural osmoprotectant, meaning that it attracts water away from the protein surface and thus protects them from denaturation and increases their thermodynamic stability
In some embodiments, the lipid-based drug delivery formulation or composition comprises a penetration enhancer (e.g., a low molecular weight alcohol (e.g., ethanol, oleyl alcohol), alkyl methanol sulphoxides, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, fatty amines (e.g., oleylamine), fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, myristate acid), gluconic acid (the hexonic acid derived from glucose by oxidation of the aldehyde group at C-1 to a carboxyl group) and its derivatives, such as gluconolactone (especially, glucono-D-lactone, a chelating agent produced by the oxidation of glucose), azone and propylene glycol, singly or in combination)
In the arterial wall, berberine also acts as an antioxidant and NF-B inhibitor, resulting in decreased oxidative modification of LDL and suppression of cytokine-driven vascular inflammation
