| In vitro study | Saikogenin D (1-20 μM) inhibits PGE2 production induced by the Ca 2+ ionophore A23187 in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC 50 value of 3 μM in C6 rat glioma cells. Saikogenin D (10-100 μM) elevates [Ca 2+ ]i in a concentration-dependent manner with a EC 50 value of 35 μM in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+ in C6 rat glioma cells. |
| biological activity | Saikogenin d is isolated from Bupleurum chinense and has anti-inflammatory effect. Saikogenin D activates cyclooxygenase, converting arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosanoic acid and dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid, whose metabolites in turn inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Saikogenin D leads to an increase in [Ca2 +] I due to intracellular Ca2 + release. |
