Momordin Ic
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Momordin Ic is an orally active triterpenoid saponin that can be isolated from Kochia scoparia. It is also a SUMO specific protease 1 (SENP1) inhibitor, SENP1/c-MYC signaling pathway inhibitor, and apoptosis inducer. Momordin Ic induces autophagy and apoptosis in liver cancer cells through the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways mediated by reactive oxygen species. Momordin Ic has the ability to control glucose induced blood glucose elevation, inhibit gastric emptying, resist rheumatoid arthritis, reduce CCl4 (HY-Y0298) induced hepatotoxicity and anti-tumor activity.

Activité biologique
Momordin Ic (0-20 μM, 48 h) relies on cholesterol and ganglioside GM1 to enhance the toxicity of recombinant protein MAP30 in breast cancer cells[2]. Momordin Ic (10 μM, 24 h) induces colon cancer cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by inhibiting the SENP1/c-MYC signaling pathway[3].
