It is produced all over China and harvested during spring and autumn.

Sophora root mainly contains alkaloids, flavonoids, quinones, and triterpenoid saponins. Alkaloids contain Matrine, oxymatrine, sophoridine, sophoranol, sophoramine, etc. Flavonoids contain kushenol, kuraridin, kuraridinol, kurarinol, neokurarinol, norkurarinol, isokurarinone, kurarinone, and more. Triterpenoid saponins include sophoraflavoside Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, soyasaponin I, and so on. Quinones are kushequinone A and others.

Matrine ( CAS NO. 519-02-8, Formula:C15H24N2O) as an alkaloid possesses strong antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis are the likely mechanisms responsible for matrine's antitumor activities. Matrine ( CAS NO. 519-02-8, Formula:C15H24N2O) is a component of the traditional Chinese medical herb Sophora flavescens Ait.

Oxymatrine (CAS NO. 16837-52-8, Chemical formula: C15H24N2O2) is one of many quinolizidine alkaloid compounds extracted from the root of Sophora flavescens, a Chinese herb. It is very similar in structure to matrine, which has one less oxygen atom.

The Matrine ( CAS NO. 519-02-8, Formula: C15H24N2O) and Oxymatrine (CAS NO. 16837-52-8, Chemical formula: C15H24N2O2) are two main ingredients; The Oxymatrine is transformed from Matrine.

Matrine ( CAS NO. 519-02-8, Formula:C15H24N2O) and the related compound Oxymatrine (CAS NO. 16837-52-8, Chemical formula: C15H24N2O2) have an antifeedant effect against formosan subterranean termite. Additionally, it acts as a nematicide against the pine wood nematode which causes pine wilt, as well as pathogenic nematodes which target humans.

Matrine and Oxymatrine can be used in cosmetics,medicine.

The matrine means total matrines (all alkaloids) extracted from Sophora Flavescens Ait. Matrine is a high efficiency, broad spectrum, less resistance low toxic, low residue, environmentally friendly Botanical pesticide, by direct contact, subsidiary by stomach poison. Once pests touch it, their nervous system is paralyzed immediately, then protein of their bodies will denaturalize, finally they will die of breathlessness. Mainly control all kinds of Dendrolimus punctatus Walker, Euproctis Pseudoconspersa Strand, Pieris rapae etc insects. Matrine has good functions of pesticide, Sterilization and regulating plant growth etc. Matrine has been widely used on vegetables, fruits, tea, tobacco and so on, Matrine has high efficacy against aphid, cabbage worm, army worm, red spider, mite etc. In addition, we should also pay attention to the efficacy of matrine on vegetable downy mildew, anthracnose etc.

It has stomach poisoning and contact killing effects, and is of low toxicity to humans and animals. Its main mechanism of action is that once the insect comes into contact with the agent, it will paralyze the nerve center, which will then solidify the insect's protein, block the insect's pores, and cause the insect to suffocate and die.
It is both an insecticide and a fungicide, and can also promote plant growth. It is effective against a variety of chewing pests, sucking pests and a variety of fungal, bacterial and viral diseases.
Insecticide targets: aphids, rice planthoppers, thrips, whitefly, tea green leafhopper, pear psyllid, sagittal scale, tobacco caterpillar, cabbage caterpillar, cutworm, American white moth, locust, red spider mite, pine wood nematode, Spodoptera litura and pine caterpillars, etc.

Sterilization targets: Tomato and grape gray mold, citrus tree canker (bacterial disease), rice stripe leaf blight, pear tree scab, cucumber and grape downy mildew, cucumber powdery mildew, etc.
