| ln Vitro |
1. In PC-12 cells (rat pheochromocytoma cells) treated with Onjisaponin B at concentrations of 1, 5, and 10 μM for 24 hours: Western blot analysis showed a concentration-dependent increase in the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio (a marker of autophagosome formation) and a decrease in p62 protein levels (a marker of autophagic degradation), indicating enhanced autophagy [1]
2. In PC-12 cells overexpressing mutant α-synuclein (A53T) or mutant huntingtin (Htt-Q74): Treatment with 5 μM Onjisaponin B for 24 hours significantly reduced the protein levels of mutant α-synuclein and Htt-Q74 (detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence), with the degradation effect blocked by chloroquine (CQ, an autophagy inhibitor that inhibits lysosomal function), confirming autophagy-mediated degradation [1] 3. In PC-12 cells: Onjisaponin B (5 μM, 24 hours) inhibited the phosphorylation of mTOR (p-mTOR) and its downstream substrates p-p70S6K and p-4EBP1 (detected by Western blot), indicating that the autophagy-enhancing effect is mediated by the mTOR signaling pathway [1] 4. In PC-12 cells treated with Onjisaponin B (5 μM) combined with CQ (10 μM): The LC3-II/LC3-I ratio was further increased compared to Onjisaponin B alone, confirming that Onjisaponin B promotes complete autophagic flux (autophagosome formation and subsequent lysosomal degradation) rather than blocking autophagosome clearance [1] |
| Cell Assay |
1. PC-12 cell culture and drug treatment: PC-12 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum and antibiotics. Cells were seeded in culture plates and allowed to adhere overnight. For autophagy detection, cells were treated with Onjisaponin B at 1, 5, 10 μM for 24 hours; for autophagy flux detection, cells were co-treated with 5 μM Onjisaponin B and 10 μM chloroquine (CQ) for 24 hours. For mutant protein degradation experiments, PC-12 cells stably overexpressing A53T α-synuclein or Htt-Q74 were treated with 5 μM Onjisaponin B for 24 hours [1]
2. Western blot assay: After drug treatment, PC-12 cells were lysed with RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Protein concentrations were determined, and equal amounts of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE, then transferred to PVDF membranes. Membranes were blocked with non-fat milk, incubated with primary antibodies (against LC3, p62, mTOR, p-mTOR, p-p70S6K, p-4EBP1, α-synuclein, huntingtin, or β-actin) and secondary antibodies, then visualized using chemiluminescence. Band intensities were quantified using image analysis software, with β-actin as the loading control [1] 3. Immunofluorescence assay: PC-12 cells overexpressing A53T α-synuclein or Htt-Q74 were seeded on coverslips, treated with 5 μM Onjisaponin B for 24 hours, then fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with Triton X-100, and blocked with BSA. Cells were incubated with primary antibodies against α-synuclein or huntingtin, followed by fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Fluorescence signals were observed under a confocal microscope, and the number of mutant protein aggregates per cell was quantified [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
Senegin III is a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Polygala senega var. latifolia, which has been shown to have hypoglycemic activity. It is both a hypoglycemic agent and a plant metabolite. Senegin III is a cinnamic acid ester, a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid, a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound and a triterpenoid saponin. It is functionally related to 4-methoxycinnamic acid. It is derived from the hydride of oleanane. Senegin III has been reported to be found in Polygala tenuifolia, Polygala fallax and other organisms with relevant data. Onjisaponin B is a saponin compound isolated from the root of Radix Polygalae, a commonly used Chinese medicine used to treat nervous system diseases [1].
Onjisaponin B accelerates the degradation of mutant α-synuclein and huntingtin through a mechanism involving the activation of autophagy via inhibition of the mTOR signaling pathway. Since the aberrant aggregation of mutant α-synuclein and huntingtin is associated with Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, respectively, Onjisaponin B may have potential therapeutic value for neurodegenerative diseases characterized by protein aggregation [1]. |

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.59 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.59 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
