Ruscogenin is a major steroidal saponin found in the root of Ophiopogon japonicus. It was first isolated from Ruscus aculeatus.
Anwendung
Ruscogenin has been used to study its therapeutic effects on Crohn′s disease (CD)-like colitis both in vitro and in vivo studies.
Biochem./physiol. Wirkung
Ruscogenin is a well-known compound for down-regulating nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), tissue factor (TF), inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and modulating inflammatory pathways. It displays anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI), and improving diabetic nephropathy in in vivo studies. Ruscogenin also exerts neuroprotective properties and protects the brain against ischemic injury in mouse model. It elicits anti-tumor properties by inducing ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer cells in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Ruscogenin is a major steroid sapogenin in the traditional Chinese herb Ophiopogon japonicus that have multiple bioactivities. Recent studies have demonstrated that ruscogenin is involved in down-regulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation in anti-inflammatory pathways.

Interaction of intestinal barrier dysfunction and intestinal inflammation promotes the progression of Crohn's disease (CD). A more recent study has suggested that ruscogenins (RUS) can exert anti-inflammatory effects through activation of the Nrf2/NQO1 pathway. The current study is aimed at

Transient cerebral ischemia initiates a complex series of inflammatory events, which has been associated with an increase in behavioral deficits and secondary brain damage. Ruscogenin is a major steroid sapogenin in the traditional Chinese herb Ophiopogon japonicus that have multiple
Pancreatic cancer is characterized by aggressive and highly metastatic phenotypes. This disease exhibits a poor patient prognosis and is considered a challenge due to the limited treatment options encountered in clinical practice. Previous studies have shown that ruscogenin, a saponin
