Bacopaside II is a steroidal saponin extracted from the medicinal plant Bacopa monnieriwith multiple biological activities[1]. Bacopaside II can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells[2]. Bacopaside II reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inhibits endothelial cell migration and tube formation[3]. Bacopaside II also exhibits potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease[4].
In vitro, treatment of triple-negative breast cancer cell lines HCC1143 and MDA-MB-231 with Bacopaside II (15–30μM) significantly induced apoptosis and necroptosis-like cell death. Combined treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with Bacopaside II (10μM) and doxorubicin (100nM) for 72 hours demonstrated a synergistic growth inhibitory effect[5]. Treatment of colon cancer cell lines HT-29, SW480, SW620, and HCT116 with Bacopaside II (15–30μM) for 24–72 hours significantly inhibited cell growth, induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and caused prominent intracellular vacuolization and autophagy-like morphological changes[6].
In vivo, oral administration of Bacopaside II (50mg/kg) for five consecutive days to ICR mice exhibited antidepressant effects, significantly reducing immobility time by 55% in the forced swimming test and by 38% in the tail suspension test[7]. Oral pre-treatment of ICR mice with Bacopaside II (50mg/kg) one hour before intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine (1mg/kg) to induce memory impairment showed that Bacopaside II ameliorated scopolamine-induced memory impairment[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HT-29, SW480, SW620, and HCT116 (human colon cancer cell lines) |
Preparation Method | Cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 200U/mL penicillin, 200µg/mL streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Bacopaside II dissolved in a 2% methanol vehicle at concentrations of 15-30µM for 24-72 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 15-30μM; 24-72 hours |
Applications | Bacopaside II significantly inhibited adherent colon cancer cell growth, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 14.5µM (HCT116) to 18.4µM (HT-29). Treatment induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in HT-29 cells (20µM) and G2/M arrest in SW480, SW620, and HCT116 cells. Bacopaside II significantly induced apoptosis. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | ICR mice |
Preparation Method | Mice were orally administered Bacopaside II (50mg/kg) suspended in 0.3% carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMCNa) once daily for five consecutive days. Memory impairment was induced by intraperitoneal injection of Scopolamine (1mg/kg) 30 minutes before behavioral tests. The forced swimming test and tail suspension test were conducted 1 hour after the final administration on the fifth day. |
Dosage form | 50mg/kg; p.o. |
Applications | Bacopaside II administration significantly reduced immobility time by 55% in the forced swimming test and by 38% in the tail suspension test. |
