Product Data
Biological target:
Ruscogenin exhibits diverse biological activities. It reduces cell adhesion of HL-60 cells to ECV304 cells induced by PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) with an IC50 value of 7.76 nM. Ruscogenin inhibits ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats when administered orally at a dose of 12.5 mg/kg.
In vitro activity:
Ruscogenin suppresses hepatic cell injury induced by oxidative stress through Nrf2 via activation of the pI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Ruscogenin pretreatment downregulated the expression of DON-induced TNF-α and COX-2 and ROS formation. Ruscogenin upregulated the expression of Nrf2, its antioxidant proteins, and mRNA levels of HO-1/NQO-1/HO-1/Nrf2. Ruscogenin inhibited DON-induced apoptosis by upregulating the levels of cleaved proteins and downregulating the expression of Bcl2. Reference: Saudi J Med Med Sci. 2022 Sep-Dec;10(3):207-215. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36247053/
In vivo activity:
Ruscogenin demonstrated a significant reduction in cerebral infarct volume, improved behavioral scores, and upregulated the protein expression of Per1, Bmal1, Clock, Rev-erbα, transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, heme oxygenase-1, and quinone oxidoreductase 1 in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Ruscogenin administration during the 17:00-19:00 time window exhibited the most potent preventive effect against IRI.
