Astragaloside IV

Synonyms: AST-IV, AS-IV

Astragaloside IV (AST-IV, AS-IV) is a bioactive saponin first isolated from the dried plant roots of the genus Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It has various effect on the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. AS-IV suppresses activation of p-Akt, p-mTOR, p-NF-κB and p-Erk1/2.

Description Astragaloside IV (AST-IV, AS-IV) is a bioactive saponin first isolated from the dried plant roots of the genus Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It has various effect on the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. AS-IV suppresses activation of p-Akt, p-mTOR, p-NF-κB and p-Erk1/2.
Targets
JNK [2] ERK [2] Akt [2] mTOR [2] NF-κB [2]
In vitro
In vitro Astragaloside IV probably alleviates leptin resistance by comprehensive modulation of ObR/STAT3 signaling transduction in neuronal cells[2].
Cell Research Cell lines SH-SY5Y cells
Concentrations 0, 25, 50 and 100 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method

Neuronal cell line SH-SY5Y cells are maintained in DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37 °C in a humidified incubator supplied with 5% CO2. After seeded in 6-well plate at 5 × 105 cells/ml and cultured without FBS overnight, the cells are treated with ASI (0, 25, 50 and 100 μM) for 24 h. Thereafter, they are harvested with CelLyticTM MT mammalian tissue lysis reagent supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors followed by sonication, and stored at −80℃ for further western blotting analysis.
In Vivo
In vivo Administration of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) reduces albuminuria, ameliorates changes in the glomerular and tubular pathology, and decreases urinary NAG, NGAL, and TGF-β1 in db/db mice. AS-IV also attenuates the diabetes-related activation of Akt/mTOR, NFκB, and Erk1/2 signaling pathways without causing any detectable hepatotoxicity. AS-IV lowers blood glucose levels in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic models. It prevents body weight gain and reduced accumulation of fat tissues in HFD fed mice. Astragaloside IV actively participates in the modulation of energy homeostasis[1][2].

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 ddH2O, 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.
