Obesity initiates numerous diseases like cardiovascular, metabolic, and type 2 diabetes, and obesity is a vital cause of death worldwide. Plants are necessary to the source of life. Several drug compounds isolated from plants are called phytochemicals which are safe, effective drug moieties to treat several diseases. Berberine chloride is a dual topoisomerase I and II inhibitor, that exhibited potent antitumor activities against several malignancies. However, the effect of Berberine on mitochondria remains unknown. The focus of this study was to determine the role of Berberine on mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP1), ATP production, and cytotoxic effect of HEK293T cell at a time and dose-dependent manner analysis by CCK8 assay. The upregulation of mitochondrial UCP1 gene expression reduces adipocyte content by initiating thermogenesis. In this study, berberine chloride significantly up-regulates UCP1 gene expression in brown adipocytes. AT 10 µM concentration of Berberine 48 h treatment demonstrated significant cell death. The decreased level of ATP production leads to mitochondrial uncoupling. Initiate thermogenesis reducing fat droplets in adipocytes. The first time, we used molecular docking and dynamic of Berberine with UCP1 gene in this study and revealed therapeutic potential of Berberine via modulation of mitochondrial UCP1 gene. Further investigation will reveal new insight into mechanisms to treat metabolic-related diseases. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
