Product Data
Biological target:
Ginkgolic Acid is a natural compound that inhibits SUMOylation with an IC50 of 3.0 μM in in vitro assay.
In vitro activity:
The proliferation inhibition rate of OCa (ovarian cancer) cells in each treatment concentration of GA (ginkgolic acid) treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the inhibitory effect was enhanced as the concentration of GA increases (Figure 1(a)). Meanwhile, Figure 1(b) shows that the OD value of OCa cells treated with GA observed in CCK-8 test decreased in comparison to the DMSO (0.1%) control group, suggesting an attenuated proliferative ability induced by GA (Figure 1(b)). Consistent to the changes in cell proliferation, the migration capacity of OCa cells was also attenuated by treatment of GA (Figure 1(c)). Reference: Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2021 Dec 26;2021:5481271. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34987594/
In vivo activity:
HE (hematoxylin and eosin) results showed that compared with the BLM (bleomycin) model group, the GA (ginkgolic acid) administration group had significantly reduced structural lung damage and inflammation, which was inhibited in SENP1-KO animals. Similarly, Masson staining results showed that overall levels of fibrosis and structural lung injury were significantly improved following GA administration, but this effect was lost in SENP1-KO mice. These results indicated that GA prevented PF through SENP1. Reference: Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2022 Jun 6;2022:8002566. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35707278/
