| Targets |
Physalin A targets multiple cellular pathways, including NF-κB, STAT3, and MAPK. It is an anti-inflammatory compound that blocks the activation of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. It regulates the Nrf2 pathway through ERK and p38 to induce detoxification enzymes. Physalin A reduces mammosphere formation by reducing the expression of the GLI1 gene and the YAP1 gene. It induces apoptosis associated with upregulation of caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Physalin A inhibits the growth of various human tumor cell lines. HT1080 and A375-S2 cells are the most sensitive tumor cell lines. It inhibits HT1080 cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner with an IC₅₀ value (at 24 h) of 10.7 μM. It induces apoptosis and is associated with upregulation of caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression. Physalin A induces autophagy and antagonizes the apoptosis of HT1080 cells. It has the potential for the research of cancer disease.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Physalin A has antitumor effect in H292 xenograft tumor model at 40-80 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection for 10 days. In a mouse osteoarthritis model, intra-articular injection of Physalin A (1 mg/kg) decreased MMP13 production and increased collagen II and aggrecan production. The OARSI score indicated that injecting Physalin A into the joint had a protective effect.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assay for Physalin A involves measuring its effects on various signaling pathways. The compound's ability to block NF-κB activation and regulate Nrf2 pathway through ERK and p38 is assessed. Its binding affinity to target proteins is measured using pull-down assays or surface plasmon resonance. The compound's effects on caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression are evaluated as markers of apoptosis.
|
| Cell Assay |

Cell viability and proliferation are assessed. Apoptosis is measured by caspase-3 and caspase-8 activation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
