| Bioactivity | Pectic acid (Methyl protopectin), a polygalacturonic acid, induces cell apoptosis and necrosis in pituitary tumor cells. Pectic acid can be used in the research of cancers and autoimmune disease[2][3]. |
| Invitro | Pectic acid (2.5-100 μg/mL, 30 min) stimulates the release of prolactin (PRL) in GH3/B6 cells, without affecting the viability of cells[1].Pectic acid (100 μg/mL-5 mg/mL, 6-48 h) increases cell death and DNA damage in GH3/B6 cells, detected by MTT assay and AO/EB staining[2].Pectic acid (100 μg/mL-1 mg/mL, 24 h) induces apoptosis in GH3/B6 cells in a dose-dependent manner[2].Pectic acid (2.5-5 mg/mL, 24 h) induces necrosis in GH3/B6 cells, confirmed by PI staining[2].
