SK-PC-B70M is an oleanolic-glycoside saponin-enriched fraction derived from the root of Pulsatilla koreana. Recently, it was reported that hederacolchiside-E is an active ingredient of SK-PC-B70M that confers a neuroprotective effect against the cytotoxicity induced by Abeta(1-42) in SK-N-SH
Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in the treatment of a wide variety of malignancies. However, its clinical usage is severely limited by its serious side effects, especially nephrotoxicity. Anemoside B4, is a major saponins, rich in root of Pulsatilla SB365, a saponin D extracted from the roots of Pulsatilla koreana, has been reported to show cytotoxicity in several cancer cell lines. We investigated the effects of SB365 on U87-MG and T98G glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells, and its efficacy in combination with temozolomide for treating
Pulsatilla chinensis is commonly used for the treatment of cancers and inflammatory disorders in China. Our recent studies showed that anemoside B4, its major ingredient, possessed notable antioxidant and protected cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in vivo. Furthermore, we found Cisplatin (cis-Dichlorodiammine platinum, CP), as the first-line chemotherapy drug of choice for many cancers such as urogenital system tumors and digestive tract tumors, also causes toxicity and side effects to the kidney. Previous studies have shown that Pulsatilla chinensis has significant
