Phytochemicals

Applications Saikosaponin C is an inhibitor of liposaccharide-induced apoptosis through suppression of caspase-3 activation. Neuroprotective agent. References Li, Z. et al.: J. Ethnopharmacol., 148, 794 (2013); Lee, T. et al.: Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 445, 615 (2014);

Applications A major steroidal sapogenin from Radix ophiopogon japonicus with robust anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic activities. Studies suggest that it inhibits adhesion of leukocytes to a human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (ECV304) injured by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in a concentration-dependent manner.
