Description

Gracillin is a steroidal saponin that can be extracted from the roots of the plant and has anti-tumor properties. Gracillin can induce cancer cell apoptosis and autophagy[1][2].

In Vitro

Gracillin (0-10 μM, 6-24 h) shows broad-spectrum inhibitory effects on the cancer cell viability[1].
Gracillin (5 μM) disrupts mitochondrial function, specifically, inhibits ATP production, activates AMPK, inhibits oxygen consumption rate (OCR) ​in H460 and A549 cells[1].
Gracillin (0-10 μM, 6 h) induces ROS generation (indicated by H2DCF-DA) ​in H460, H1299, H226B and A549 cells[1].
Gracillin (0-4 μM, 24 h) blocks cell cycle in G1 phase, and induces apoptosis and autophagy in A549 cells[2][3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Apoptosis Analysis[2]

Cell Line: A549 cells
Concentration: 0-4 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Induced morphological changes.
Apoptosis rate: 6.56%-67.43%.
In Vivo

Gracillin (oral gavage, 10 mg/kg for xenografts and 20 mg/kg for PDX) inhibits tumor growth of xenograft tumors inoculating lung (H1299), prostate (DU145), and colorectum (HCT116) cancer cells, as well as patient-derived xenograft colon and lung tumors[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.35 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
