Polyphyllin I, a strong antifungal compound against Candida albicans

APMIS, 2023
This study was performed to explore the antifungal and antibiofilm effects of polyphyllin I (PPI) on Candida albicans. Microdilution assay was performed to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of PPI against Candida species. Adhesion assay, hyphal growth assay, biofilm formation, and development were used to test the impacts of PPI on ...

[Study on hemolytic mechanism of polyphyllin II].

Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica, 2016
To study the hemolytic effect of polyphyllin II (PP II) mediated by anion channel protein and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), in order to initially reveal its hemolytic mechanism in vitro. In the experiment, the spectrophotometric method was adopted to detect the hemolysis of PP II in vitro and the effect of anion channel-related solution and blocker ...

Polyphyllin VII induces fibroblasts apoptosis via the ERK/JNK pathway

Burns, 2021
Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a pathological scar that often occurs in burn patients. Its histology is characterized by the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts (FB) and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Inhibition of proliferation and activation of FB is essential for the treatment of HS.

Polyphyllin VII is a Potential Drug Targeting CD44 Positive Colon Cancer Cells

Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2022
Background: Current therapies for colon cancer are hindered by treatment failure and recurrence, mainly due to colon cancer stem cells (CSCs). Thus, treatment using drugs targeting CSCs should be effective in eliminating colon cancer cells and impeding cancer recurrence. Objective: This study aimed to test if PPVII can be a potent drug candidate for
