Periplogenin is a natural cardiotonic steroid compound [1]. Periplogenin inhibits Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity, indirectly increases intracellular calcium concentration in cardiomyocytes, and thus enhances myocardial contractility [2-3]. Periplogenin is commonly used to treat psoriasis and cancer [4].
In SHEE cells, Periplogenin (1μM, 2μM, 4μM; 48h) inhibits the ESCC cell growth [5]. In rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS), after administration of Periplogenin (0.1μg/mL, 0.25μg/mL, 0.5μg/mL, 1μg/mL, 2.5μg/mL, 5μg/mL, 7.5μg/mL, 10μg/mL, 12.5μg/mL, 15μg/mL, 20μg/mL; 24h), the proliferation rate of RA-FLS decreased with the increase of Periplogenin dose [6]. In bone marrow macrophages, Periplogenin (20μM, 40μM, 60μM, 80μM, 100μM; 96h) suppressed osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner [7].
In DU145 xenograft tumor model, Periplogenin (10mg/kg, 20mg/kg; ig; 30d) suppresses tumor growth [8]. In collagen induction-induced mouse model, Periplogenin (1mg/kg, 2mg/kg, 4mg/kg; sc; 33d) inhibits pathologic synovial proliferation and infiltration in rheumatoid arthritis by regulating the JAK2/3-STAT3 pathway [9]. In gastric cancer xenograft mice model, Periplogenin (6mg/kg; ip; 21d) inhibit the growth of tumor in vivo in nude mice [10].

Periplogenin是一种天然的强心类固醇化合物 [1]。Periplogenin通过抑制Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase活性，间接增加心肌细胞内钙浓度，从而增强心肌收缩力 [2-3]。Periplogenin常用于治疗银屑病和癌症 [4]。
在SHEE细胞中，Periplogenin（1μM、2μM、4μM；48h）可抑制ESCC细胞生长 [5]。在类风湿关节炎成纤维样滑膜细胞（RA-FLS）中，给予Periplogenin（0.1μg/mL、0.25μg/mL、0.5μg/mL、1μg/mL、2.5μg/mL、5μg/mL、7.5μg/mL、10μg/mL、12.5μg/mL、15μg/mL、20μg/mL；24h）后，RA-FLS的增殖率随Periplogenin剂量的增加而降低 [6]。在骨髓巨噬细胞中，Periplogenin（20μM、40μM、60μM、80μM、100μM；96h）以剂量依赖性方式抑制破骨细胞分化 [7]。
