  3. Echinoside A

Echinoside A is a saponin. Echinoside A can be isolated from sea cucumber. Echinoside A inhibits the catalytic activity of Top2α, reduces the noncovalent binding of Top2α to DNA. Echinoside A activates Caspase-3 and induces PARP cleavage. Echinoside A induces Apoptosis. Echinoside A has anticancer activity against prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and S-180 sarcoma. Echinoside A exhibits antifungal activity against a variety of fungi, with a minimum growth inhibitory concentration range of 3.12 to 50.0 μg/mL, including potent activity against Aspergillus and Penicillium species.

In Vitro

Echinoside A (0.80-3.98 μM; 6-24 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and reduces cell viability by 54.7% at 2.70 μM for 12 h[1].
Echinoside A (1.35-2.70 μM; 12 h) induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro[1].
Echinoside A (1.35-2.70 μM; 12 h) regulates the expression of cell cycle-related genes in HepG2 cells, upregulates the expression of p16 and p21, downregulates the expression of cyclin D1, but has no effect on p27[1].
Echinoside A (1.35-2.70 μM; 12 h) exerts no significant effect on the expression of NF-κB p65 protein in HepG2 cells[1].
Echinoside A (0.25-2 μM; 3 h for DNA fragmentation) induces concentration-dependent apoptosis and DNA fragmentation in human leukemia HL-60 cells[2].
Echinoside A exhibits antifungal activity against a variety of fungi, with a minimum growth inhibitory concentration range of 3.12 to 50.0 μg/mL, including potent activity against *Aspergillus* and *Penicillium* species[3].

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.
