Biological context of Helixin

  • In this study, we examine the effects of alpha-hederin on the release of nitric oxide (NO) and the level of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression in mouse macrophages. alpha-Hederin elicited a dose-dependent increase in NO secretion [6].
  • Its cytotoxicity decreases in the presence of serum in which BSA seems to be able to bind the saponin. alpha-Hederin also induces vacuolization of the cytoplasm and membrane alterations leading to cell death [9].
  • Oleanolic acid, alpha-hederin hydrate, and betulic acid inhibited the chitin synthase II activity under the same conditions with an IC50 of 5.6, 64.3, and 98.7 micrograms/ml, respectively [10].
  • So, the membrane-perforating properties associated with saponins, here represented by alpha-hederin, enhance neither cytotoxicity nor apoptosis of these cancer cells [11].
  • Previous studies have shown adverse developmental outcome with a single administration of alpha-hederin to rats on gestation day (GD) 8 or 11 [3].
