Biological Activity

Description Saikosaponin A is a triterpene saponin derived from the medicinal plant, Bupleurum chinensis DC. (Umbelliferae). It has a variety of pharmacological benefits, including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-bacterial activities.
In vitro Saikosaponin A inhibited expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and activation of rat hippocampal astrocytes induced by glutamate. It also decreased [Ca2+] and decreased the secretion of IL-6 from glutamate-activated rat hippocampal astrocytes[1].
In vivo Saikosaponin A demonstrated antiepileptic activity in a variety of in vivo seizure models including the pentylenetetrazole kindling model, the maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizure model as well as the Li-Pilocarpine induced refractory epilepsy[1].
