Onjisaponin B is an orally active natural product derived from Polygala tenuifolia. Onjisaponin B inhibits NF-κB p65. Onjisaponin B enhances autophagy and accelerates the degradation of mutant α-synuclein and huntingtin. Onjisaponin B reduces β-amyloid (Aβ) production. Onjisaponin B reduces radiation-induced cell apoptosis. Onjisaponin B has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Onjisaponin B can be used for neurological disease and radiation injury study, and its metabolite tenuifolin (TF) can enter the brain through the BBB.

Description

Onjisaponin B is an orally active natural product derived from Polygala tenuifolia. Onjisaponin B inhibits NF-κB p65. Onjisaponin B enhances autophagy and accelerates the degradation of mutant α-synuclein and huntingtin. Onjisaponin B reduces β-amyloid (Aβ) production. Onjisaponin B reduces radiation-induced cell apoptosis. Onjisaponin B has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Onjisaponin B can be used for neurological disease and radiation injury study, and its metabolite tenuifolin (TF) can enter the brain through the BBB[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Onjisaponin B (3-50 μM, 8-24 h) activates autophagy through an Atg7, AMPK-mTOR dependent manner in PC-12 cells[1].
Onjisaponin B (6.25-50 μM, 16-24 h) enhances the clearance of mutant huntingtin and A53T α-synuclein, lowers the toxicity and acts as a neuroprotective agent in PC-12 cells, and reduces oligomerization of α-synuclein in HeLa cells[1].
Onjisaponin B (0.01-10 μM) reducesβ-amyloid (Aβ) production with an IC50 of 10 μM without affecting BACE1 or γ-secretase activity in 293T cells[3].
Onjisaponin B (20 μg/mL, 8-50 h) inhibits the activation of Cas3 through p65, reducing radiation-induced cell apoptosis and helping to prevent radiation injury in TC, V79 and MTEC-1 cells[4].

Cell Autophagy Assay[1]

Cell Line: PC-12 cells transfected with GFP-LC3 plasmids

Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the formation of GFP-LC3 puncta formation in a dose-dependent manner.

In Vivo

Onjisaponin B (20-40 mg/kg; i.g.; daily for 12 days) ameliorates dopaminergic (DA) neurodegeneration in a MPTP (HY-15608)-induced mouse model of Parkinson’s disease (PD) through anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities mediated via the RhoA/ROCK2 signaling pathway[2].

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
