| Bioactivity | Bryonolic acid is an active triterpenoid compound with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer activities[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Bryonolic acid exerts anti-allergic activity by inhibiting homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and delayed hypersensitivity. Bryonolic acid reduces nitric oxide by suppressing inducible nitric oxide synthase expression, indicating anti-inflammatory activity[1]. In rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, Bryonolic acid against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced neurotoxicity, indicating it as a candidate neuroprotective agent for cerebral ischemic treatment[1]. Bryonolic acid (1-200 μM) inhibits acyl-coA: cholesterol acyl transferase (ACAT) activity in rat liver microsomes in a concentration-dependent manner, blocking the biosynthesis of the cholesterol fatty acid ester tumour promoter. Bryonolic acid inhibits ACAT in intact cancer cells with an IC50 of 12.6 µM[2]. Bryonolic acid inhibits both clonogenicity and invasiveness in MCF-7 MB-231, U87 and 3T3-EA cells[2]. |
