In vitro study | Chrysophanic acid (Chrysophanol) is an EGFR/mTOR pathway inhibitor. Chrysophanic acid (Chrysophanol) is a natural anthraquinone compound with anticancer activity in EGFR-overexpressing SNU-C5 human colon cancer cells. Chrysophanic acid (Chrysophanol) preferentially blocked proliferation of SNU-C5 cells, but not of other cell lines (HT7,HT29,KM12C,SW480,HCT116, and SNU-C4) with lower EGFR expression levels. Chrysophanic acid (Chrysophanol) treatment of SNU-C5 cells can inhibit EGF-induced phosphorylation in EGFR and inhibit downstream signaling molecules such as AKT, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K). In BGM(Buffalo green monkey) cells, Chrysophanic acid was also able to inhibit cytopathic effects induced by kidney poliovirus II and type II (small RNA Viridae) and poliovirus. |
In vivo study | Chrysophanol (CA) improves HFD-induced obesity in C57BL/6 Mice. The in vivo performance of Chrysophanol is performed in male C57BL/6J mice to determine the efficacy of administered Chrysophanol. Mice fed the HFD gained significantly more weight than those fed the standard diet mice. On the other hand, weight gain of Chrysophanol group is significantly less than with the untreated HFD. Mice in the HFD-group gained 23.92 ± 1.74 g of weight, while those in the Chrysophanol group gained 16.72±2 g of weight after 16 weeks. |
