Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-1938
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Astragaloside IV
PMID 30243825
Literature evidence CONCLUSIONS: Our results proved that HQ and its main bioactive compounds could induce the P-gp and BCRP expression through the activation of the Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway.
IUPAC name (2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-[[(1S,3R,6S,8R,9S,11S,12S,14S,15R,16R)-14-hydroxy-15-[(2R,5S)-5-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-2-methyloxolan-2-yl]-7,7,12,16-tetramethyl-6-[(2S,3R,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxan-2-yl]oxy-9-pentacyclo[9.7.0.01,3.03,8.012,16]octadecanyl]oxy]-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol

Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein P-gp, BCRP, Nrf2
Gene or Protein evidence HQ, AS-IV, CS and FMNT significantly upregulated the P-gp and BCRP expression in the liver of wild-type mice. The induction was significantly reversed in the Nrf2-/- mice. HQ and these compounds significantly increased the Nrf2 expression in wild-type mice. HQ and these compounds also markedly enhanced the ARE-luciferin activity and promoted the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in cells.
Target pathways PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
IC50 NA
Potency Our results proved that HQ and its main bioactive compounds could induce the P-gp and BCRP expression through the activation of the Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway.
Cell line/ mice model Wild-type C57BL/6 mice
