Descriptions:
Alpha-hederin as a pro-drug, has cytotoxic and apoptotic/necrotic effects in a dose- and time-dependent manner on on four human cancer cell lines [A549 (lung carcinoma), HEp-2 (larynx epidermoid carcinoma), HT-29 (colon adenocarcinoma) and MIA PaCa-2 (pancreas carcinoma)] .[1]
Alpha-hederin is a saponin isolated from ivy, has anti-oxidant activity and acute anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema.[2]
Alpha-hederin, chlorophyllin and ascorbic acid have protective effects towards the induction of micronuclei by doxorubicin in cultured human lymphocytes.[3]
Alpha-hederin has antileishmanial activity ,exhibits a strong antiproliferative activity on all stages of development of the parasite by altering membrane integrity and potential in Leishmania .[4]
Alpha-hederin affects the binding behavior, dynamics, and regulation of beta 2-adrenergic receptors.[5]
Alpha-Hederin can increase isoprenaline-induced relaxation indirectly, probably by inhibiting heterologous desensitization induced by high concentrations of muscarinic ligands like .[6]
Alpha-hederin at sub-IC(50) cytotoxic concentrations enhances 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cytotoxicity about 3.3-fold, suggests that it is possible to optimize colorectal cancer cell sensitivity to 5-FU with alpha-hederin.[7]
Alpha-hederin has anticancer effect on breast cancer cells.[8]
