Description of Hecogenin

Hecogenin is a steroid saponin isolated from Agave sisalana and is a selective inhibitor of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. Hecogenin has a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antifungal and gastroprotective effects[1].

Hecogenin (3.1-90 mg/kg; oral administration; for 15 hours; male Swiss mice) acutely administered, before ethanol, exhibits a potent gastroprotective effect. The Hecogenin pretreatment normalizes GSH levels and significantly reduces lipid peroxidation and nitrite levels in the stomach, as evaluated by the ethanol-induced gastric lesion model. Hecogenin also decreases MPO release and significantly protects the gastric mucosa[1]. Animal Model: Male Swiss mice (20-30 g) with ethanol[1]

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
