Product Description
Platycoside G1, a naturally occurring compound found in Platycodon grandiflorum, is a triterpene saponin. Platycoside G1 has strong anti-oxidant effect.
Platycoside G1 is a triterpenoid saponin isolated from the root of Platycodon grandiflorum (balloon flower), a traditional medicinal plant. It exhibits potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. It reduces the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (NO, TNF-α, IL-6) in macrophages and induces apoptosis in various tumor cell lines. Additionally, it has been shown to support respiratory health by reducing airway inflammation and promoting expectoration, consistent with its traditional use in cough remedies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
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.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Molecular formula C64H104O34, MW 1417.5 (approx.). Appearance: white crystalline powder. Solubility: DMSO 100 mg/mL; sparingly soluble in water. Storage: -20°C, protected from light. Purity ≥98%. For in vivo, suspend in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose or use DMSO/PEG/saline formulation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No systematic toxicity studies published. In animal studies, doses up to 50 mg/kg orally showed no obvious adverse effects. High doses (>100 mg/kg) may cause gastrointestinal irritation. No genotoxicity reported. As a saponin, it may cause hemolysis if administered intravenously.
