Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pachymic acid is a phospholipase A2 inibitor isolated from Poria cocos. Pachymic acid cam be biosynthesized by Wolfiporia cocos, a medicinal mushroom used in China. Pachymic acid has demonstrated anti-tumor effects in lung, breast, and pancreatic cancers, but its impact on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is unclear.

Product Data
Biological target:
Pachymic acid is a phospholipase A2 inibitor isolated from Poria cocos.
In vitro activity:
PA (pachymic acid) significantly reduced cell growth in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Meanwhile, cell cycle arrest at G0 phase was induced by PA. PA also significantly inhibited cancer cell migration, invasion in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, this study demonstrated that cancer cell adhesion ability was suppressed dose-dependently, which may contribute to the inhibition of cell invasion. Finally, this study showed that PA inhibited AKT and ERK signaling pathways. And oncoproteins, such as PCNA, ICAM-1 and RhoA which are involved intumorigenesis, were also downregulated by PA. Reference: Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015 Oct 15;8(10):17781-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26770369/
In vivo activity:
The in vivo efficacy of PA (pachymic acid) was measured using a NCI-H23 xenograft model in nude mice. PA inhibited the growth of NCI-H23 xenograft tumors without causing any host toxicity, and inhibited cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis of tumor cells in tumor xenograft tissues.
