Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Timosaponin AIII inhibits the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), with IC50 value of 35.4μM[1]. Timosaponin AIII is a bioactive steroid saponin isolated from A. asphodeloides. Timosaponin AIII has shown multiple pharmacological activities and has been developed as an anticancer agent[2].
In vitro,Timosaponin AIII presented cytotoxicity effects in various kinds of cancer cells including breast cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, and so on. Timosaponin AIII inhibited cell viability of BT474, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, HeLa, HCT-116 with IC50s of 2.5µM, 2µM, 15.41µM, 10µM, 5.5µM, respectively[3-6].
In vivo, treatment with Timosaponin AIII (7.5mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times per week for 3 weeks) dramatically restricted tumor growth in MHCC97L tumor bearing nude mice[7]. Oral administration of free Timosaponin AIII (6.8 mg/kg) in healthy male SD rats, the Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t, and T1/2 of Timosaponin-AIII were 18.2±3.1ng/mL, 2.3±0.57h, 150.5±29. ng·h/mL, and 4.9±2.0h, respectively[8].

在体内实验中,用Timosaponin AIII(7.5mg/kg;腹腔注射;每周3次,共3周)治疗MHCC97L荷肿瘤的裸鼠,显著抑制了肿瘤生长[7]。在健康雄性SD大鼠中口服游离的Timosaponin AIII(6.8mg/kg),其Cmax、Tmax、AUC0-t和T1/2分别为18.2±3.1ng/mL、2.3±0.57h、150.5±29. ng·h/mL和4.9±2.0h[8]。
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HeLa |
Preparation Method | Cells (8×103 per well) were seeded in supplemented culture medium (100μL/well) in 96-well plates and incubated for 24h. Then the medium was replaced with a Timosaponin AIII-containing medium, and the cells were further incubated for 24 to 48h. All experiments were run in parallel with controls (0.2% DMSO) and the cell viabilities were evaluated by MTT assays. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-20µM; 24 to 48h |
Applications | Timosaponin AIII inhibited HeLa cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Female nude mice |
Preparation Method | Female nude mice subcutaneously received 1×107 MHCC97L cells on its right flank. One week after injection, mice were randomized into two groups. One of which received 7.5mg/kg Timosaponin AIII three times per week through intraperitoneal injection for 3 weeks while the other received PBS. Tumor growth and body weight were monitored three times per week. At the end of the study, the mice were sacrificed with overdose of phenobarbital (200mg/kg). Tumor was dissected out and subjected to histological analysis. |
Dosage form | 7.5mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times per week for 3 weeks |
Applications | In tumor bearing nude mice treated with Timosaponin AIII (7.5mg/kg/2 days) while tumor growth was dramatically restricted. |
