Raddeanin A is an oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin with oral activity. Raddeanin A inhibits SRC, mTOR, JNK, VEGFR2, NLRP3 inflammasome, Wnt/β-catenin, Wee1, PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, AR-FL, AR-Vs, and downregulates the expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT. Raddeanin A inhibits osteoclast formation, bone resorption, osteolysis, cancer cell invasion, migration, proliferation, angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, while induces apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, ROS production, immunogenic cell death and dendritic cell maturation. Raddeanin A improves blood-retinal barrier function, alleviates inflammation, regulates the tumor microenvironment, and enhances the activity of anti-PD-1 antibody. Raddeanin A is applicable to the research of breast cancer-associated osteolysis, human osteosarcoma, colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, Alzheimer's disease, cholangiocarcinoma, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer and multiple myeloma.

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.
