Product Description
Sodium aescinate is a triterpenoid saponin derived from Aesculus hippocastanum seeds, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Sodium aescinate can suppress the growth of liver cancer by targeting the CARMA3/NF-κB pathway.
Sodium aescinate (SA) (CAS 20977-05-3) is a triterpenoid saponin derived from Aesculus hippocastanum seeds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. It is widely used in cardiovascular and inflammatory research. Sodium aescinate enhances venous tone, reduces capillary permeability, and alleviates tissue edema. It serves as both a therapeutic agent and a reference compound in vascular biology research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The molecular targets of sodium aescinate include the CARMA3/NF-κB pathway, through which it inhibits liver cancer growth. It also targets the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway. It can block signals to downstream molecules AKT and ERK, inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells, and induce apoptosis by suppressing the activation of SRC. It also protects the ischemic brain on reperfusion injury by increasing Bcl-2 protein expression and decreasing Caspase-3 protein expression.
ln Vitro
Sodium aescinate can decrease the proliferation of breast cancer cells MCF-7 by apoptosis, block signals to downstream molecules AKT and ERK, and induce apoptosis by blocking the activation of SRC[3].
In vitro studies have demonstrated that sodium aescinate can block signals transiting to downstream molecules AKT and ERK, inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell MCF-7, and induce cell apoptosis by suppressing the activation of SRC. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. It can protect the ischemia brain on reperfusion injury. These properties make it a valuable compound for studying cancer, inflammation, and vascular biology.
ln Vivo
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of sodium aescinate help diabetic rats repair their wounds more efficiently [1]. Treatment with sodium acetate has the potential to lessen polycystic ovarian syndrome symptoms (PCOS). Through control of the PI3K/Akt/GSK3-β pathway, a rat model was assembled [4].
In vivo studies have shown that sodium aescinate may effectively control and improve wound healing in diabetic rats via its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. It prevents and alleviates acute lung injury induced by oleic acid. Topical application of sodium aescinate can accelerate wound healing significantly marked by compact collagen deposition and newly regenerated epithelial layer. Sodium aescinate treatment can alleviate the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for sodium aescinate typically involve studying its interaction with various molecular targets. Binding studies may be conducted to assess its interaction with proteins involved in the NF-κB pathway, such as CARMA3. Enzyme activity assays may be performed to measure its effects on AKT, ERK, and SRC activity. Additionally, studies may investigate its effects on the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for sodium aescinate typically involve treatment of cultured cells with the compound followed by assessment of various cellular responses. Cell viability and proliferation assays are used to evaluate its anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells. Apoptosis assays are performed to assess the induction of programmed cell death. Signaling pathway analysis via Western blotting is used to evaluate the effects on AKT, ERK, and SRC phosphorylation.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for sodium aescinate typically involve administration to animal models to evaluate its pharmacological effects. Diabetic rat models are used to study its effects on wound healing. Oleic acid-induced acute lung injury models are used to study its protective effects. Polycystic ovary syndrome models are used to study its effects on reproductive health. Ischemia-reperfusion injury models are used to study its neuroprotective effects.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Sodium aescinate has a molecular weight of 1123.21. The CAS number is 20977-05-3. It is soluble in DMSO at 10 mg/mL (8.9 mM). It has a purity of >98% (HPLC). The compound is derived from Aesculus hippocastanum seeds and is used as a vasoactive drug in clinical treatment.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of sodium aescinate has been evaluated in preclinical and clinical studies. It is used as a therapeutic agent in clinical treatment for its vasoactive properties. Common adverse effects may include local reactions at the site of application. The compound is generally well-tolerated when used at therapeutic doses. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed when handling this compound.
