 Polyphyllin I is a steroid saponin that has been found in P. polyphylla and has anticancer activity.1 It decreases proliferation of, and induces apoptosis in, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50s = 5 and 2.5 μM, respectively). It disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential, activates caspase-3, and increases protein levels of the caspase-3 substrate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in HepG2 and drug-resistant R-HepG2 cells.2 Polyphyllin I (2.05 and 2.73 mg/kg for 10 days) reduces tumor growth in an MCF-7 mouse xenograft model.1
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 White crystalline powder, easily soluble in methanol and water, derived from Paris polyphylla.
 |  | [Uses] 
 Polyphylin II is a natural saponin extracted from the plant, Paris polyphylla, and displays antiproliferative activity in vivo. Used in the treatment of lung and cervical cancers.
 |  | [in vivo] 
 
 Polyphyllin I (1.5 mg/kg; i.p. twice daily from day 2 to day 11) significantly inhibit the tumor growth of A549 cells in the nude mice[1]. | Animal Model: | BALB/c nude mice (5 weeks old) were s.c. inoculated with A549 cells[1] |  | Dosage: | 1.5 mg/kg |  | Administration: | I.p. twice daily from day 2 to day 11 |  | Result: | The tumor growth rate was much lower than that in cisplatin group and PBS
group. |
