Description of Soyasapogenol A

Soyasapogenol A is a triterpenoid compound isolated from the roots of Abrus cantoniensis that exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, and anti-HSV-1 activities. Soyasapogenol A can be used in the research of tumors and immune inflammatory diseases[1][2][3].

In vitro, treatment with Soyasapogenol A at 10µM for 11 days caused a 68% reduction in MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation, whereas it stimulated a 2.4-fold increase in MCF-7 cell proliferation[4]. Treatment with Soyasapogenol A for 24h increased pS2 mRNA expression in MCF-7 cells by 3.4-fold at 0.1µM and by 5.5-fold at 1µM[4]. Treatment with Soyasapogenol A (0-0.5mg/mL) for 24-72h inhibited the proliferation of Hep-G2 cells, with an LC₅₀ of 0.052mg/mL, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis[1].

In vivo, Soyasapogenol A was orally administered at a dose of 15mg/kg twice weekly for 6 weeks in SKOV-3 xenograft mice, demonstrating a potent and significant reduction in the growth of subcutaneous xenografts by more than 55% and lung metastases by more than 60%[5].

Protocol of Soyasapogenol A

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231

Preparation Method

Cell suspensions were diluted into a 24-well plate. The following day, Soyasapogenol A dissolved in DMSO were added. The final DMSO concentration did not exceed 0.3% (v/v). The cells were incubated in the Soyasapogenol A for a further 11 days in a 5% CO2 atmosphere and 100% humidity. The media with chemicals was changed after 4 days and then every 2 days thereafter.

Reaction Conditions

0, 0.1, 1, 10µM; 11d

Applications

There were no significant changes in proliferation of MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells cultured in 0.1 or 1.0µM SA for 11 days. However, at 10µM , Soyasapogenol A caused 68% reduction in MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation, whereas it stimulated a 2.4-fold increase in MCF-7 cell proliferation.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Athymic balb/c nude female mice transplanted with SKOV3 cells

Preparation Method

Animals were pre-fed with either vehicle (0.1% carboxymethyl cellulose) or Soyasapogenol A supplemented vehicle (15mg/kg) in 250µL suspension twice a week before xenografting of SKOV-3 cells by subcutaneous and intravenous injections. Post-1 week of injections, mice were feed with Soyasapogenol A for next 4 weeks, before sacrifice.

Dosage form

15mg/kg; 2/w, 6w; p.o.

Applications

Soyasapogenol A fed mice demonstrated a potent and significant reduction (>55%) in growth of subcutaneous xenografts and lung metastases (>60%).
