Product Description
Platycodin D3 is a triterpene saponin compound from Platycodon grandiflorum that has anti-HCV (hepatitis C virus) activity.
Platycodin D3 (CAS 67884-03-1) is an oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin isolated from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum (balloon flower). With a molecular formula of C₆₃H₁₀₂O₃₃ and a molecular weight of 1387.46 g/mol, this compound exhibits anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity and functions as an NF-κB inhibitor. Platycodin D3 can be used as an expectorant in a variety of lung inflammatory diseases and regulate the production and secretion of mucin in the airway. The compound has a purity of 98.91%. As a triterpenoid saponin, platycodin D3 possesses a complex glycosidic structure with multiple sugar moieties attached to the oleanane-type aglycone. Its anti-HCV activity makes it a valuable tool for studying viral hepatitis and developing new antiviral therapies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Platycodin D3 targets multiple pathways involved in viral replication and inflammation. It inhibits NF-κB, a key transcription factor in inflammatory signaling. The compound also has anti-HCV activity, suggesting that it targets viral proteins or host factors required for HCV replication. Its expectorant effects are mediated through the regulation of airway mucin production and secretion. As a triterpenoid saponin, platycodin D3 may also interact with cell membranes and modulate membrane-associated signaling pathways. Its ability to inhibit NF-κB suggests potential therapeutic applications in inflammatory diseases, while its anti-HCV activity indicates potential in antiviral therapy.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies have demonstrated that platycodin D3 has anti-HCV activity. It functions as an NF-κB inhibitor. The compound can regulate the production and secretion of airway mucin in various cell-based models. Its ability to inhibit NF-κB and HCV replication makes it a valuable tool for studying inflammation and viral hepatitis. However, detailed in vitro potency data, such as IC₅₀ values for HCV inhibition or NF-κB inhibition, are not extensively documented in the available literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo, platycodin D3 can be used as an expectorant in a variety of lung inflammatory diseases. Its ability to regulate airway mucin production and secretion contributes to its expectorant effects. The compound's anti-HCV activity suggests potential therapeutic applications in hepatitis C virus infection. However, comprehensive in vivo efficacy and safety studies for platycodin D3 as a single agent are limited. The compound's natural occurrence in Platycodon grandiflorum, which has a long history of use in traditional medicine, supports its potential as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for platycodin D3 typically involve measuring NF-κB inhibition using cell-free systems. The compound is incubated with NF-κB p50 or p65 subunits and a DNA probe containing the NF-κB consensus sequence, and the inhibition of DNA binding is measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) or ELISA-based assays. Anti-HCV activity can be assessed using cell-free assays measuring the activity of HCV enzymes such as protease or polymerase. These assays provide quantitative data on the compound's direct interactions with its molecular targets.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for platycodin D3 use various cell lines to study its biological activities. For anti-HCV studies, HCV replicon cell lines or HCV-infected cells are used, and viral replication is measured by qPCR or luciferase reporter assays. For anti-inflammatory studies, macrophages or other immune cells stimulated with LPS are used, and NF-κB activation is measured by luciferase reporter assay or Western blotting for phospho-IκBα. The production of inflammatory cytokines is measured by ELISA. For expectorant studies, airway epithelial cells are used, and mucin production and secretion are measured by ELISA or Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for platycodin D3 would likely employ models of HCV infection (though HCV does not infect rodents, transgenic or xenograft models may be used), inflammatory pulmonary diseases, or cough/expectorant models. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally, and parameters such as viral load, inflammatory cytokine levels, mucin production, and histopathology of lung tissues are assessed. For expectorant studies, the compound's effects on airway mucin production and secretion are evaluated. Pharmacokinetic studies in these models provide information about the compound's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Platycodin D3 has a molecular weight of 1387.46 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₆₃H₁₀₂O₃₃. It is an oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin isolated from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum. The compound has a purity of 98.91%. It is also known by various synonyms and is commercially available as a research compound. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion have not been extensively characterized. As a saponin with a high molecular weight, platycodin D3 is expected to have poor oral bioavailability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of platycodin D3 has not been comprehensively evaluated in published studies. As a natural saponin from Platycodon grandiflorum, which has a long history of use in traditional medicine, it is generally considered to have low to moderate toxicity. Saponins can have hemolytic activity and may cause gastrointestinal irritation at high doses. The compound's ability to inhibit NF-κB suggests that it may have significant biological effects that require careful evaluation. The compound is classified as a research reagent and is not intended for human therapeutic use without further safety evaluation. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.
