Biological Activity

Description Saikosaponin D, a calcium mobilizing agent (SERCA inhibitor), is a type of Saponin derivative, which is a component extracted from Bupleurum falactum. Saikosaponin D has anti-cancer activities.
Targets
SERCA [1]
In vitro
In vitro Saikosaponin D is a novel autophagic inducer that induces autophagy in various types of cancer cells through the formation of autophagosomes as measured by GFP-LC3 puncta formation. Saikosaponin D increases cytosolic calciumlevel via direct inhibition of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase pump, leading to autophagy induction through the activation of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase-AMP-activated protein kinase-mammalian target of rapamycin pathway. Its treatment causes the disruption of calcium homeostasis, which induces endoplasmic reticulum stress as well as the unfolded protein responses pathway[1]. Ssd can exhibit anti-cancer activities, which is mediated by the induction of apoptosis and autophagic cell death regardless of p53 status. Low dose Ssd is capable of sensitizing chremosensitive or chemoresistant lung and cervical cancer or hepatoma cells to anti-cancer drug- or radiation-induced apoptosis. Ssd also down-regulates PPM1D content, leading to the activation of Chk1, phosphorylation of Cdc25c and Cdk1, and subsequent G2/M arrest and apoptosis[2].
Cell Research Cell lines HeLa and MCF-7 cells
Concentrations 10 μM
Incubation Time 1, 4, 8 and 24 h
Method

HeLa and MCF-7 cells were treated with Ssd (10 μM) for the indicated time, whereas rapamycin (100 nM) and thapsigargin (1 μM) were used as positive control. Cell lysates were harvested and analyzed by western blot for ER stress markers.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
