Product Description
Polygalacin D (PGD) is a biologically active compound extracted from Platycodon grandiflorum with anticancer and antiproliferation properties. Polygalacin D inhibits the expression of the IAP protein family like survivin, cIAP-1 and cIAP-2 proteins, and blocks the PI3K/Akt pathway by inhibiting the phosphorylation of GSK3β, Akt and the expression of PI3K. Polygalacin D causes apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt pathway.
Polygalacin D (PGD, CAS 66663-91-0) is a bioactive triterpenoid saponin isolated from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum (balloon flower), a plant used in traditional medicine. With a molecular formula of C₅₇H₉₂O₂₇ and a molecular weight of 1209.32 g/mol, this compound exhibits significant anticancer and anti-proliferative properties. It induces apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt pathway by inhibiting the expression of IAP proteins and blocking the phosphorylation of GSK3β and Akt. Polygalacin D also shows anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and immunomodulatory activities. It is a valuable research tool for studying cancer biology and drug development.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Polygalacin D targets multiple components of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. It inhibits the phosphorylation of GSK3β and Akt, and blocks the expression of PI3K, leading to the induction of apoptosis. It also inhibits the expression of IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) protein family members. Additionally, Polygalacin D inhibits the expression of LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 proteins, contributing to its anti-inflammatory activity.
ln Vitro
Polygalacin D (0-40 µM; 48 hours) suppresses cell growth with an IC50 of 26.49 µM in A549 cells and 20.52 µM in H460 cells [1]. Polygala D (0-20 µM; 48 hours) increases the fraction of early and late apoptotic cells, and nuclear condensation is detected in A549 and H460 cells [1]. Polygala D (0-20 µM; 48 hours) may exert its apoptotic effects by affecting apoptotic proteins including the IAP protein family in A549 and H460 cells [1].
In vitro, Polygalacin D exhibits potent anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity against various cancer cell lines. It induces apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt pathway. It also shows anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the expression of LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 in RAW 264.7 macrophages without appreciable cytotoxicity. It suppresses the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines like PGE2.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Polygalacin D has been shown to protect mice from the lethal effects of LPS, reducing mortality from 89% to 60% and 50% when administered with LPS/galactosamine in combination with other saponins. Its anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties suggest potential therapeutic applications. However, specific in vivo data for Polygalacin D alone are limited.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for Polygalacin D are not standard. Its mechanism is primarily studied in cell-based systems. However, its effects on the PI3K/Akt pathway can be assessed by measuring the phosphorylation status of Akt and GSK3β using cell lysates in ELISA or western blot-based assays.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: A549 and H460 Cancer cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 10 µM, 20 µM, 40 µM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibition of proliferation of NSCLC cell lines.
Apoptosis analysis [1]
Cell Types: A549 and H460 cancer cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 10 µM, 20 µM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Induction of apoptosis in NSCLC cell lines.
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: A549 and H460 cancer cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 10 µM, 20 µM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: diminished expression of survivin, c-IAP-1 and c-IAP-2.
In vitro cell-based assays for Polygalacin D use cancer cell lines and RAW 264.7 macrophages. Cells are treated with the compound, and apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V/PI staining, while PI3K/Akt pathway inhibition is confirmed by western blot for phospho-Akt and phospho-GSK3β. Anti-inflammatory activity is measured by LPS-induced NO production and PGE2 levels, as well as iNOS and COX-2 expression.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Polygalacin D employ mouse models of acute inflammation, such as LPS-induced lethality. The compound is administered to mice, and survival rates are monitored. Inflammatory markers in serum and tissues can also be measured to assess its anti-inflammatory effects. Tumor xenograft models could be used to study its anticancer efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Polygalacin D has a molecular weight of 1209.32 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₅₇H₉₂O₂₇. It is a complex saponin with high molecular weight and is practically insoluble in water (6.8e-3 g/L). It is typically soluble in DMSO. For storage, it should be kept as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or at 4°C for up to 2 years.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Polygalacin D has not been fully characterized. In vitro studies show it has no appreciable cytotoxic effect on RAW 264.7 macrophages at active concentrations. However, as a potent apoptosis inducer, it may have significant biological effects that require careful evaluation. Comprehensive toxicological studies are needed.
