Product Data
Biological target:
An iridoid glycoside with diverse biological activities.
In vitro activity:
HUVEC proliferation in the presence of all tested agnuside concentrations (1–2500 ng/mL) at all time points (24–96 hrs.) was markedly higher than in DMSO control. Up to a 56% increase in HUVEC proliferation was measured for 2500 ng/mL agnuside treatment at 96 hrs., compared to a 20–30% increase for 24–72 hrs., shown in Fig. 8a. No differences in cell morphology were observed for any treatments. Agnuside promoted formation of meshes in a dose-dependent manner. Total length and total branching length of 0.1 ng/mL agnuside-treated HUVEC tubular networks were greater than DMSO control. Even in the presence of 1 nM ZM 323881 HCl, 0.1 ng/mL agnuside resulted in greater total length and total branching length compared to DMSO control. The data may suggest that agnuside exerts a proangiogenic effect on HUVECs by competing with ZM 323881 HCl for VEGFR2 binding site occupancy. As shown in Fig. 8g, HUVEC wound closure 24 hrs. after initial scratch wound application was accentuated in the presence of 100 ng/mL agnuside relative to control.

In vivo activity:
To evaluate the effect of AGN (Agnuside) on synovial fibrosis in KOA, anatomical characteristics and pathological sections of synovial tissue were observed. The KOA group showed markedly increased collagen deposition, while this change was relatively lessened in the KOA+AGN group observed under anatomy (Figure 3(a)). The same results can be observed by Sirius Red staining (Figure 3(b)). Subsequently, this study performed a semiquantitative analysis by immunohistochemical staining of type I collagen (Figures 3(c) and 3(d)). In the KOA group, the percentage of collagen I-positive areas was significantly higher in comparison with the normal group (P < 0.05). But in the KOA+AGN group, collagen I deposition was significantly alleviated compared with the KOA group (P < 0.05). More specifically, this study measured both mRNA and protein expressions of fibrotic markers TGF-β, TIMP1, and VEGF in synovial tissues (Figures 3(e)–3(g)). This study found that there was a significant decrease level of profibrotic substances in the KOA+AGN group.
