Product Information
Name:Gracillin
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Gracillin is a steroidal saponin, which is a bioactive compound derived from the plant genus Dioscorea. This natural product is characterized by its complex glycoside structure, where a sugar moiety is attached to a steroid-like aglycone. The mode of action of Gracillin involves its interaction with cellular membranes, leading to increased cell membrane permeability. This action is thought to disrupt normal cellular functions, making it a compound of interest for studying membrane dynamics.
The applications of Gracillin are diverse, particularly within the field of pharmacology, where its potential therapeutic effects are being explored. Researchers are investigating its anticancer properties as it appears to induce apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines. Additionally, its role as a natural product with antimicrobial and antifungal activities is being studied, providing insights into the development of new therapeutic agents. Gracillin's ability to modulate biological membranes also extends its potential applications to fields such as drug delivery systems, where it may enhance the permeability and efficacy of pharmacological formulations.
