Ziyuglycoside II

Ziyuglycoside II is a triterpenoid saponin compound extracted from Sanguisorba officinalis L.. Ziyuglycoside II induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis. Anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effect[1].

Ziyuglycoside II (10-60 μM; 24 h and 48 h) inhibits MDA-MB-435 cells growth in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 of Ziyuglycoside II at 24 h and 48 h is 5.92 μM and 4.74 μM, respectively[1]. Ziyuglycoside II (5-25 μM) induces G0/G1 and S phase arrest in MDA-MB-435 cells at 24 h[1]. Ziyuglycoside II (5-25 μM; 24 hours) significantly increases apoptotic rate of MDA-MB-435 cells[1]. Ziyuglycoside II (5-25 μM; 24 hours) increases expressions of both p53 and p21 in MDA-MB-435 cells, which effect is dose-dependent[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: MDA-MB-435 cells Concentration: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours and 48 hours Result: The IC50 at 24 h and 48 h was 5.92 μM and 4.74 μM, respectively. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Line: MDA-MB-435 cells Concentration: 5, 10, 25 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Induced G0/G1 and S phase arrest. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: MDA-MB-435 cells Concentration: 5, 10, 25 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: The apoptotic rate was significantly increased in comparison to that of the control. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: MDA-MB-435 cells Concentration: 5, 10, 25 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Treatment resulted in increased expressions of both p53 and p21.
