Product Description

Polyphyllin I is a natural product from Paris polyphylla with anti-tumor activity, acting as an inhibitor of PDK1/Akt/mTOR signaling. Also an activator of the JNK signaling pathway.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
- Polyphyllin I acts on mitochondrial functional proteins and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway proteins [2]
- Polyphyllin I targets 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway proteins and cyclin B1 [3]
ln Vitro
- Anti-proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells ([1]): In A549 and H460 NSCLC cells, Polyphyllin I exhibited concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effects with IC50 values of 2.8 μM (A549) and 3.2 μM (H460) after 72 hours (MTT assay). It also reduced colony formation by 65% (A549) and 60% (H460) at 4 μM [1]
- G2/M arrest and apoptosis in U251 glioma cells ([2]): In U251 cells, Polyphyllin I (1-4 μM) induced G2/M phase arrest (G2/M ratio increased by 42% at 3 μM) and apoptosis (apoptotic rate increased from 3.2% to 35.6% at 3 μM, Annexin V-FITC/PI staining). It caused mitochondrial dysfunction (mitochondrial membrane potential reduced by 50% at 3 μM, JC-1 assay) and activated JNK (phospho-JNK/JNK ratio increased by 2.3-fold at 3 μM); JNK inhibitor (SP600125) reversed its apoptotic effect [2]
- Autophagy and cell cycle arrest in HGC-27 gastric cancer cells ([3]): In HGC-27 cells, Polyphyllin I (2-8 μM) inhibited proliferation (IC50 = 4.5 μM, 72 hours) and induced G2/M arrest (G2/M ratio +38% at 6 μM). It triggered autophagy (LC3-II/LC3-I ratio +3.1-fold, p62 protein -55% at 6 μM) and suppressed PDK1/Akt/mTOR signaling (phospho-PDK1/PDK1 -48%, phospho-Akt/Akt -52%, phospho-mTOR/mTOR -58% at 6 μM). It also downregulated cyclin B1 protein by 60% at 6 μM [3]
ln Vivo
- Antitumor effect in NSCLC xenograft mice ([1]): In nude mice bearing A549 xenografts, Polyphyllin I was administered via intraperitoneal injection at 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg, once every 2 days for 21 days. The 2 mg/kg group showed a 58% reduction in tumor volume and a 55% reduction in tumor weight compared to the vehicle control. No significant weight loss or organ damage was observed [1]
Cell Assay
- NSCLC cell assays ([1]):
1. Viability test: A549/H460 cells (5×10³ cells/well) were treated with Polyphyllin I (0.5-8 μM) for 72 hours, and viability was detected by MTT assay [1]
2. Colony formation: Cells (2×10² cells/well) were treated with Polyphyllin I (1-4 μM) for 14 days, stained with crystal violet, and colonies (>50 cells) were counted [1]
- U251 glioma cell assays ([2]):
1. Viability test: U251 cells (5×10³ cells/well) were treated with Polyphyllin I (0.5-6 μM) for 72 hours, MTT assay was used [2]
2. Cell cycle analysis: Cells were treated with Polyphyllin I (1-4 μM) for 24 hours, fixed with 70% ethanol, stained with propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry [2]
3. Apoptosis detection: Cells were treated with Polyphyllin I (1-4 μM) for 48 hours, stained with Annexin V-FITC/PI, and apoptotic rate was measured by flow cytometry [2]
4. Western blot: Cells were treated with Polyphyllin I (1-4 μM) for 24-48 hours, total protein was extracted, and levels of JNK, phospho-JNK, Bax, Bcl-2, and β-actin were detected [2]
- HGC-27 gastric cancer cell assays ([3]):
1. Viability test: HGC-27 cells (5×10³ cells/well) were treated with Polyphyllin I (1-10 μM) for 72 hours, MTT assay was used [3]
2. Autophagy detection: Cells were treated with Polyphyllin I (2-8 μM) for 24 hours, LC3 and p62 protein levels were detected by Western blot; autophagosomes were observed by fluorescence microscopy (LC3-GFP transfection) [3]
3. Western blot: Cells were treated with Polyphyllin I (2-8 μM) for 24 hours, and levels of PDK1, phospho-PDK1, Akt, phospho-Akt, mTOR, phospho-mTOR, cyclin B1, and β-actin were detected [3]
Animal Protocol
- A549 xenograft model ([1]):
1. Model establishment: Male nude mice (4-6 weeks old) were subcutaneously injected with 5×10⁶ A549 cells (suspended in 100 μL PBS + 100 μL Matrigel) into the right flank. When tumors reached ~100 mm³, mice were divided into 3 groups (n=6): vehicle control, Polyphyllin I 1 mg/kg, Polyphyllin I 2 mg/kg [1]
2. Drug administration: Polyphyllin I was dissolved in 0.1% DMSO + 0.9% normal saline, administered via intraperitoneal injection once every 2 days for 21 days; vehicle group received the same solvent [1]
3. Detection: Tumor volume (length × width² / 2) was measured every 3 days; mice were sacrificed on day 21, tumor weight was recorded, and major organs (liver, kidney, heart) were stained with HE for pathological examination [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In vivo toxicity ([1]): Polyphyllin I (1-2 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, 21 days) did not cause significant weight loss (weight change <5%) or pathological damage to the liver, kidney or heart in mice (no necrosis or inflammation observed on HE staining) [1] - In vitro toxicity ([2][3]): Polyphyllin I at concentrations up to 8 μM did not affect the viability of normal human astrocytes (NHAs, [2]) or normal gastric epithelial cells (GES-1, [3]), with cell viability >90% compared to the control group [2][3]

Additional Infomation
It has been reported that Paris polyphylla var. chinensis, Polygonatum kingianum, and other organisms with relevant data all contain Paris saponin I. Paris saponin I is a steroidal saponin isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Paris polyphylla [1][2][3] - Its antitumor mechanism in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells includes inhibiting cell proliferation and colony formation [1]; in U251 cells, it induces G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction and JNK activation [2]; in HGC-27 cells, it inhibits the PDK1/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to induce autophagy and G2/M phase arrest [3] - It shows potential as a broad-spectrum antitumor drug for NSCLC, glioma, and gastric cancer [1][2][3]
