Product Description
Polyphyllin VI is an active saponin with anti-cancer effect. Polyphyllin VI induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis. Polyphyllin VI induces caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis by inducing the ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD signaling axis in non-small cell lung cancer.
Polyphyllin VI (CAS#: 55916-51-3) is an active saponin with anti-cancer activities. It induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis. Polyphyllin VI induces caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis via the induction of ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD signal axis in non-small cell lung cancer. The compound also has hemostasis, expectorant, bacteriostasis, anticytotoxic, anti-pregnancy, and sperm-killing effects. Its molecular formula is C39H62O13 with a molecular weight of 738.90 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Polyphyllin VI targets apoptosis, pyroptosis, and cell cycle pathways. It induces G2/M cell cycle arrest. The compound induces caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis via the ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD signaling axis. It activates the NLRP3 inflammasome and exerts anti-proliferative effects. Polyphyllin VI has anti-cancer activities against non-small cell lung cancer. Its diverse bioactivities include hemostasis, bacteriostasis, and anti-pregnancy effects.
ln Vitro
The viability of A549, NCI-H1299, and HepaRG cells is drastically reduced in a dose-quantitative manner by polyphyllin VI (0-16 μM; 48 hours) [1][2]. The percentage of A549 and NCI-H1299 cells in the G2/M phase is dose-wise considerably increased by polyphyllin VI (0.5-2 μM-1 μM; 24 hours) [1]. HepaRG cells are arrested in the S phase for 24 hours by polyphyllin VI (0-12 μM-1 μM) [2]. In a 24-hour period, Polyphyllin VI (0–6 μM–1 μM) stimulates the NLRP3 signalosome [3]. Through the ROS/NF-κB pathway, Polyphyllin VI (0-6 μM-1 μM; 24 hours) detects A549 and NCI.[3]
In vitro, Polyphyllin VI induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis in cancer cells. It induces caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis via the ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD signal axis in non-small cell lung cancer. The compound activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. It exerts strong inhibitory effects on lung cancer cell growth in vitro. Its anti-cancer activities have been characterized in various cell-based assays.
ln Vivo
Lung cancer xenograft growth is inhibited by polyphyllin VI (2-4 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; 5 times per week for 4 weeks) [1]. Intraperitoneal injection of Polyphyllin VI (2.5–10 mg/kg) administered over a 10-day period
In vivo, Polyphyllin VI possesses anti-cancer activities and exhibits strong inhibitory effects on lung cancer cell growth. It induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis in tumor tissues. The compound has been studied in animal models of cancer for its anti-tumor efficacy. Its hemostasis, expectorant, and bacteriostasis effects have been demonstrated in preclinical studies. Further in vivo studies are ongoing to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
Polyphyllin VI enzyme assays involve measuring its effects on apoptosis, pyroptosis, and cell cycle pathways. Caspase-1 activity is assessed using fluorogenic substrates. ROS levels are measured using fluorescent probes. NF-κB activation is assessed by measuring nuclear translocation or DNA binding. NLRP3 inflammasome activation is assessed by measuring ASC oligomerization or IL-1β release. Cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity assays. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls such as known apoptosis inducers.
