Phytolaccagenin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Phytolaccagenin is a triterpenoid saponin aglycone, Antifungal agent, vasodilator, antihypertensive agent, and anti-inflammatory agent. Phytolaccagenin activates vascular and cardiac Muscarinic receptors, blocks cardiac β-adrenergic receptors, and inhibits voltage-dependent calcium channels in blood vessels. Phytolaccagenin inhibits the growth of Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. Phytolaccagenin induces vasodilation, produces negative inotropic and negative chronotropic effects, reduces mean arterial pressure, and inhibits LPS-induced inflammation. Phytolaccagenin exhibits enhanced antihypertensive effects in high salt-induced hypertensive rats. Phytolaccagenin can be used in the research of candidiasis, cryptococcosis, hypertension, and inflammation-related diseases.

Biological Activity
|
β-adrenoceptor |
Phytolaccagenin inhibits phenylephrine (HY-B0769)- and high K+-induced contraction of isolated aortic rings from Sprague-Dawley rats[2].
Phytolaccagenin (10-100 μM; 30-45 min) inhibits voltage-dependent Ca2+ influx in aortic rings isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats, which is confirmed by the rightward shift of the CaCl2 concentration-response curve[2].
Phytolaccagenin produces negative inotropic and negative chronotropic effects on isolated spontaneously beating atrial strips from Sprague-Dawley rats, and these effects are partially mediated by cardiac muscarinic receptors and β-adrenergic receptors[2].
Phytolaccagenin (5-100 μM; 24 h) potently inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, with an IC50 of 18.4 μM, and exhibits stronger activity than Esculentoside A (HY-N0632)[3].
Phytolaccagenin (60 min) shows no hemolytic activity against red blood cells of New Zealand rabbits, with an HD50 > 500 μM at the maximum concentration of 500 μM[3].
Phytolaccagenin (100 μM) reduces the viability of RAW 264.7 macrophages[3].
