  3. Soyasaponin Bb

Soyasaponin Bb is an orally active, covalent inducer of heme oxygenase HO-1 and an inhibitor of aldose reductase AKR1B1. Soyasaponin Bb can regulate oxidative stress pathways, enhance antioxidant capacity, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and inhibit lipid peroxidation and hepatocyte apoptosis. Soyasaponin Bb improves alcohol-induced hepatocyte membrane damage and liver function abnormalities, and improves Scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced memory impairment. Soyasaponin Bb has antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activities.

Description

Soyasaponin Bb is an orally active, covalent inducer of heme oxygenase HO-1 and an inhibitor of aldose reductase AKR1B1. Soyasaponin Bb can regulate oxidative stress pathways, enhance antioxidant capacity, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and inhibit lipid peroxidation and hepatocyte apoptosis. Soyasaponin Bb improves alcohol-induced hepatocyte membrane damage and liver function abnormalities, and improves Scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced memory impairment. Soyasaponin Bb has antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activities[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

HO-1

 

In Vitro

Soyasaponin Bb (25-100 μg/mL; pretreatment for 24 h + ethanol treatment for 24 h) increases cell viability, reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activities, downregulates malondialdehyde (MDA) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and induces heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in rat hepatocyte BRL 3A assay[1].
Soyasaponin Bb (2.36-94.30 mg/L; 4 h) shows no significant cytotoxicity in the Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell experiment. Soyasaponin Bb has an apparent permeability (Papp) across the membrane of less than 1.0×10-6 cm/s), with the apical-to-basolateral (AP-BL) transport significantly higher than the basolateral-to-apical (BL-AP) transport, indicating that the cell permeation of Soyasaponin Bb is mainly passive transport[2].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Rat BRL 3A hepatocytes
Concentration: 0, 25, 50, 100 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 24 h pretreatment with Soyasaponin Bb, followed by 24 h ethanol (250 mmol/L) treatment
Result: Dose-dependently increased cell viability, with 50 and 100 μg/mL groups showing significant protection compared to the ethanol-alone group.
The 25 μg/mL group showed minimal improvement.
In Vivo

Soyasaponin Bb (100 mg/kg; oral administration; single dose) showes a peak plasma drug concentration of 19.8 ng/mL in the Sprague-Dawley rat model. It was mainly excreted in the feces, with very little excretion in the urine. The metabolite Soyasapogenol B was only detected in the feces[2].
Soyasaponin Bb (10 mg/kg; oral administration; once a day; for 5 consecutive days) significantly improves passive avoidance, Y-maze and Morris water maze task performance in the Scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced mouse memory impairment model, increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation level, without inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Scopolamine-induced ICR mice Memory Impairment Model (male; 18-22 g, 5 weeks old)[3]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage, once 1 hour before scopolamine injection, single dose
Result: Significantly increased the latency time to enter the dark compartment in the retention trial, restoring memory impairment to 97% of the untreated normal control level, comparable to the positive control tacrine (10 mg/kg).
No significant differences were observed during the acquisition trial.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.65 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
