Gypsogenin is a selective mixed-type BChE inhibitor (Ki=19.99 μM) that also exhibits significant cytotoxicity against various human cancer cell lines. Gypsogenin inhibits tumor growth by inducing cell cycle arrest and triggering apoptosis. Gypsogenin displays antibacterial activity against bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus thuringiensis, and often serves as a key parent nucleus for the synthesis of anticancer compounds. Gypsogenin is widely used in research on Alzheimer's disease and various cancers including colon cancer, melanoma, and leukemia.

In Vitro

Gypsogenin exhibits moderate cytotoxicity against 518A2, A2780, MCF-7, A549, and HeLa human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 9.9 to 21.3 μM, and no significant activity against HT-29 cells (IC50 >30 μM)[1].
Gypsogenin (1000 μg/mL; 24 h) shows moderate antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, and Bacillus thrungiensis, with 13 mm inhibition zones for all three strains[2].
Gypsogenin (0.5-40 μM; 72 h) exhibits antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines, with the strongest activity against Saos-2 (IC50=7.85 μM) and MCF-7 (IC50=9.02 μM) cells[2].
Gypsogenin (20 μM; 48 h) triggers apoptotic cell death (20-36% apoptosis) with low necrosis rates in HL-60, HT-29, Caco-2, Saos-2, MCF-7, and HeLa human cancer cell lines when treated at 20 μM for 48 h[2].
Gypsogenin (0.01-100 μM; 48 h) inhibits viability of A549, LOVO, SKOV3, and HepG2 human cancer cells with IC50 values ranging from 15.90 μM (LOVO) to 22.18 μM (HepG2) after 48 h of treatment[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.
