Descriptions:
Platycodon D (PD) and D3 (PD3) isolated from Platycodon grandiflorum has been previously reported to show anti-inflammatory activities in rats, PD may stimulate TNF-α synthesis or inhibit degradation of TNF-α mRNA, suggest a dichotomous regulation of these important proinflammatory mediators by PD and PD3.[1]
Platycodin D suppresses prostaglandin E2 production at 10 and 30 uM in rat peritoneal macrophages stimulated by the protein kinase C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA).[2]
Platycodin D has the ability to induce apoptosis in HaCaT cells through the upregulation of Fas receptor and FasL expression via to NF-κB activation in the transcriptional level, suggests that the NF-κB activation plays a crucial role in the induction of apoptosis in human HaCaT cells on treatment with platycodin D.[3]
Platycodin D (PD) significantly promotes the production of Th1 (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) and Th2 (IL-10) cytokines and up-regulates the mRNA expression of Th1 cytokines (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) in splenocytes from the mice immunized with HBsAg, also increases the killing activities of natural killer (NK) cells and CTLs from splenocytes in the HBsAg-immunized mice, which may have important implications for vaccination against hepatitis B virus,suggests that PD may be the candidates as adjuvants for use in prophylactic and therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine.[4]
Platycodin-D(PD) can induce autophagy in NCI-H460 and A549 cells through inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and activating JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.[5]
Platycodin D has showed an antinociceptive effect .[6]
Platycodin D can inhibit migration, invasion, and growth of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells via suppression of EGFR-mediated Akt and MAPK pathways.[7]
