Description

Ruscogenin, an important steroid sapogenin derived from Ophiopogon japonicus, attenuates cerebral ischemia-induced blood-brain barrier dysfunction by suppressing TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome activation and the MAPK pathway. Ruscogenin exerts significant anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic activities. Ruscogenin has orally bioactivity[1][2].

IC50 & Target

NLRP3

 

In Vitro

Ruscogenin (0.01-40 μM; 24 h) increases the cell viability in bEnd.3 cells subjected to OGD/R[1].
Ruscogenin (0.01-10 μM; 24 h) reverts the endothelial barrier leakage, inhibits the expression of IL-Iβ and Caspase-1, and modulats the TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway in bEnd.3 cells subjected to OGD/R[1].
Ruscogenin (0.01-10 μM; 4 h) inhibits the production of ROS, and regulated the MAPK Pathway in bEnd.3 Cells subjected to OGD/R[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: bEnd.3 cell
Concentration: 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: bEnd.3 cell
Concentration: 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Demonstrated increase in the TEER value and inhibition the sodium fluorescein permeability.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: bEnd.3 cell
Concentration: 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Demonstrated downregulation of the expression of IL-1β and Caspase-1 proteins, and inhibition in the expressions of NLRP3 and TXNIP.

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: bEnd.3 cell
Concentration: 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM
Incubation Time: 4 h
Result: Demonstrated reduction in the production of ROS.
In Vivo

Ruscogenin (10 mg/kg; i.g.; 1 time) improves the MCAO/R-induced brain tissue injury and inhibits the expression of IL-1β and Caspase-1 and modulats the TXNIP/NLRP3[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: MCAO/R Mice[1]
Dosage: 10mg/kg
Administration: Oral Gavage (i.g.)
Result: Showed smaller infarct size, ameliorating histopathological damage by decreasing the cell loss, and significant increase in CBF (cerebral blood flow) compared to the model group.
Resulted inhibiting the expression of IL-1β and Caspase-1, NLRP3 and TXNIP compared to the model group.

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.
