Product Description
Phytolaccagenic acid is the main component of quinoa saponin. Phytolaccagenic acid is an active compound. In numerous biochemical investigations, phytolaccagenic acid can be employed.
Phytolaccagenic acid (CAS# 54928-05-1) is a naturally occurring triterpenoid saponin found in various plant species, including Phytolacca americana, Phytolacca dodecandra, and Phytolacca esculenta. It has the molecular formula C31H48O6 and a molecular weight of 516.70. Also known as (3beta,4alpha,20beta)-3,23-Dihydroxy-olean-12-ene-28,29-dioic acid 29-methyl ester. Phytolaccagenic acid is the main composition of quinoa saponin and is an active compound. It exhibits anticancer, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Phytolaccagenic acid targets inflammatory pathways, exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties. The compound also has anticancer activity, suggesting interactions with pathways regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Its antiviral properties indicate interactions with viral replication mechanisms. As a triterpenoid saponin, it may interact with cellular membranes and modulate immune responses. Further research is needed to identify its specific molecular targets.
ln Vitro
Phytolaccagenic acid exhibits anticancer, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. As the main composition of quinoa saponin, it is an active compound. These in vitro findings support its potential applications in cancer research, antiviral research, and inflammation research.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of Phytolaccagenic acid are limited as the compound is primarily used as a research chemical. Its anticancer, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties suggest potential for in vivo evaluation in models of cancer, viral infection, and inflammation. However, comprehensive in vivo pharmacological studies specifically targeting Phytolaccagenic acid are not well documented. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Phytolaccagenic acid typically involve testing its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antiviral activities. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring inhibition of inflammatory mediator production. Anticancer activity is assessed using cell viability assays in cancer cell lines. Antiviral activity is assessed using viral replication assays. The compound's purity (>97%) and identity are confirmed using analytical chemistry methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Phytolaccagenic acid involve culturing cancer cell lines to evaluate its anticancer activity. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound and cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar colorimetric assays. Apoptosis is quantified using flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining. For antiviral studies, virus-infected cells are treated and viral replication is measured. For anti-inflammatory studies, immune cells are treated and cytokine production is measured. All experiments are performed with appropriate controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Phytolaccagenic acid would be conducted to evaluate its anticancer, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activities. For anticancer studies, tumor-bearing animals would be treated and tumor growth monitored. For antiviral studies, infected animals would be treated and viral load assessed. For anti-inflammatory studies, animals with induced inflammation would be treated and inflammatory markers measured. Parameters assessed would include tumor growth, viral load, inflammatory markers, and tissue histopathology. Control groups receiving vehicle alone would be included for comparison.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of Phytolaccagenic acid reflect its nature as a triterpenoid saponin. It has a molecular weight of 516.70 and the molecular formula C31H48O6. The compound has a purity of >97%. As a saponin, it has limited oral bioavailability. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion would require further systematic studies using appropriate analytical methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Phytolaccagenic acid has been evaluated in the context of its use as a research chemical. As a naturally occurring triterpenoid saponin from Phytolacca species, it is expected to have a safety profile similar to other saponins. Proper handling procedures including use of personal protective equipment are recommended when working with the compound. The compound is not approved for human therapeutic use and is intended for research purposes only.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
