| Targets |
Multiple pathways: NF-κB (inhibits phosphorylation of IκBα, reducing nuclear translocation), MAPK (suppresses ERK, JNK, p38 phosphorylation), and PI3K/Akt. It also upregulates Nrf2 and antioxidant enzymes (HO-1, SOD). Its pro-apoptotic effect is mediated by caspase-3 activation and Bax/Bcl-2 imbalance. The triterpenoid core is responsible for membrane interaction and receptor modulation.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, platycoside G1 (10–100 µM) decreases LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells by 40–70%, with IC50 ~25 µM. It inhibits TNF-α and IL-6 secretion in a dose-dependent manner. In cancer cell lines (A549, MCF-7, HeLa), it reduces viability with IC50 values 15–30 µM and induces apoptosis, as shown by Annexin V staining and DNA fragmentation. It also scavenges DPPH radicals with IC50 ~30 µM.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, platycoside G1 has been studied in mouse models of asthma and acute lung injury. Oral administration (10–50 mg/kg) reduces airway hyperresponsiveness, eosinophil infiltration, and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. In a xenograft model of lung cancer, intraperitoneal injection (20 mg/kg, every other day) significantly suppressed tumor growth (by ~50%) without major toxicity. It also improves survival in septic shock models.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free antioxidant assays: DPPH radical scavenging (mix with ethanolic DPPH, measure absorbance at 517 nm); ABTS cation decolorization. Anti-inflammatory: measure inhibition of COX-2 or iNOS enzymatic activity using commercial kits. For NF-κB, use ELISA-based DNA-binding assay with nuclear extracts. Apoptosis: caspase-3/7 fluorometric substrate cleavage.
|
| Cell Assay |
RAW 264.7 macrophages are treated with platycoside G1 (0–100 µM) for 2 h, then LPS (1 µg/mL) for 24 h. Supernatants are collected for NO (Griess), TNF-α, IL-6 (ELISA). Cell lysates are used for Western blotting of iNOS, COX-2, NF-κB, and MAPK. For cancer cells, MTT assay after 48 h treatment, followed by flow cytometry for apoptosis. Hoechst staining visualizes nuclear condensation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For asthma model, BALB/c mice are sensitized with OVA (alum adjuvant) and challenged with OVA aerosol. Platycoside G1 is given orally daily for 7 days before challenge. After final challenge, bronchoalveolar lavage is performed for differential cell counts and cytokine analysis; lung histology assessed. For cancer, nude mice bearing A549 tumors are treated i.p. with compound every other day for 3 weeks; tumor volume and weight recorded.

*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.
