Sinomenine has strong potency of inhibiting renal fibrosis in UUO mouse kidney.
Sinomenine attenuates the expression of profibrogenic proteins.
Sinomenine balances renal fibrosis-associated oxidative stress.
Sinomenine mitigates profibrogenic signaling of TGBβ/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin.
Sinomenine exerts anti-renal fibrotic functions mainly via activating Nrf2 pathways.
