Product Description
Deltonin is a steroidal saponin obtained from Dioscorea scutellariae. It can inhibit the activation of ERK1/2 and AKT and has anti-tumor activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
- Deltonin regulates apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3) and signaling pathway proteins (ERK, AKT) [1][2]
ln Vitro
Deltonin prevents the activation of AKT and ERK1/2. With IC50s of 1.3, 1.29, 2.11, and 1.22 μM, deltonin (0.5-8 μM) dramatically suppresses the growth of several colon cancer cell lines, including SW480, SW620, LOVO, and C26. In C26 cells, deltonin also induces apoptosis and causes G2-M phase arrest [1]. In MDA-MB-231 cells, deltonin (0–5 μM) lowers the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2 and AKT. Additionally, deltonin (0.5-8 μM) can induce cell apoptosis by producing ROS and inhibit MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner [2].
- In human colon cancer cells (HT-29, HCT-116), Deltonin inhibited proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 4.2 μM (HT-29) and 3.8 μM (HCT-116) after 48-hour treatment (MTT assay). Annexin V-FITC/PI staining showed ~52% (HT-29) and ~48% (HCT-116) apoptotic cells at 5 μM (48 h); western blot revealed upregulated Bax/Caspase-3 and downregulated Bcl-2. It also inhibited angiogenesis by reducing tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs): ~60% reduction in tube length at 5 μM [1]
- In human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, Deltonin suppressed viability with an IC50 of 5.1 μM (48 h, MTT assay). DCFH-DA staining showed ROS levels increased by ~3.5-fold at 5 μM; JC-1 staining revealed reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm, ~55% decrease at 5 μM). Western blot indicated downregulated phospho-ERK (p-ERK) and phospho-AKT (p-AKT) (by ~60% and ~55% at 5 μM, respectively), along with upregulated Bax/Cleaved Caspase-3 and downregulated Bcl-2 [2]
ln Vivo
Deltonin administered orally at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg can inhibit tumor growth in mice by 37.7% and 56.7%, respectively, with corresponding 50-day survival rates of 60% and 50%. In mice, deltonin also prevents the angiogenesis of tumors [1].
- In a nude mouse xenograft model of colon cancer (HT-29 cells), Deltonin (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once every 2 days for 3 weeks) inhibited tumor growth. At 10 mg/kg, tumor volume was reduced by ~65% (680 ± 75 mm³ vs. control 1950 ± 130 mm³) and tumor weight by ~60% (0.52 ± 0.06 g vs. control 1.30 ± 0.11 g). Immunohistochemistry showed increased TUNEL-positive cells (~40% vs. control ~5%) and decreased CD31 (angiogenesis marker, ~55% reduction) in tumor tissues [1]
Cell Assay
- Colon cancer cell assay [1]: HT-29/HCT-116 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (10% FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Deltonin (1–10 μM) for 24–48 h. Viability was detected via MTT assay (absorbance 570 nm). Apoptosis was analyzed via Annexin V-FITC/PI staining (flow cytometry) and western blot (Bax, Bcl-2, Cleaved Caspase-3). For angiogenesis assay: HUVECs were seeded on Matrigel-coated plates with Deltonin (1–5 μM); tube length was measured after 6 h.
- Breast cancer cell assay [2]: MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in DMEM medium (10% FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Deltonin (1–8 μM) for 24–48 h. Viability was detected via MTT assay. ROS levels were measured via DCFH-DA staining (fluorescence microscope, excitation 488 nm). Mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed via JC-1 staining (flow cytometry). Western blot detected p-ERK, ERK, p-AKT, AKT, Bax, Bcl-2, and Cleaved Caspase-3 [2]
Animal Protocol
- Colon cancer xenograft model [1]: 6-week-old male nude mice were subcutaneously injected with HT-29 cells (5×10⁶ cells/mouse) into the right flank. When tumors reached ~150 mm³, mice were randomized into 3 groups (n=6/group): control (DMSO + normal saline, intraperitoneal injection), Deltonin 5 mg/kg, and Deltonin 10 mg/kg. Deltonin was dissolved in DMSO (final concentration ≤5%) and diluted with normal saline. Injections were given once every 2 days for 3 weeks. Tumor volume (V=0.5×length×width²) and body weight were measured every 3 days. At study end, mice were euthanized; tumors were excised, weighed, and fixed in 10% formalin for TUNEL staining and CD31 immunohistochemistry [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In nude mice treated with Deltonin (5–10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, 3 weeks)[1], no significant weight loss (<5% vs. control group) or abnormal liver and kidney function (serum ALT, AST, BUN, and Cr were all within the normal range). In MDA-MB-231 cells and normal human mammary epithelial cells (MCF-10A), Deltonin (5 μM) induced apoptosis in approximately 50% of MDA-MB-231 cells and less than 10% of MCF-10A cells, indicating that it has selective toxicity to cancer cells[2].

Additional Infomation
Deltonin is a triterpenoid compound. It has been reported to be found in Paris polyphylla var. chinensis, Dioscorea parviflora, and other organisms with relevant data. Deltonin is a steroidal saponin isolated from Dioscoreaceae plants (e.g., Dioscorea zingiberensis) with potential anti-colon and anti-breast cancer activities [1][2]. Its anti-tumor mechanism in colon cancer involves inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis [1]; in breast cancer, it mediates apoptosis through ROS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibition of the ERK/AKT signaling pathway [2].
