Biochem/physiol Actions

Penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose hydrate (PCG) is a polyphenolic gallotannin compound produced by plants. It has an ability to inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) related metastatic activity. Thus, PCG can be used for treating metastatic activity in squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, it also acts as a potential drug for stabilizing small abdominal aneurysms.
PGG induces predominantly (caspase dependent) apoptosis in DU145 and LNCaP cells, while inducing autophagy in more resistant PC3 and TRAMP-C2 cells. It appears that PGG targeted signaling downstream of rather than the mTOR itself. Polyphenolic pyranoses were reported (J Biol Chem. 2010, 285 (11), 7892-902) to inhibit the plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1).

We have shown that 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-α-D-glucopyranose (α-PGG), an orally effective hypoglycemic small molecule, binds to insulin receptors and activates insulin-mediated glucose transport. Insulin has been shown to bind to its receptors on platelets and inhibit platelet activation. In this study we...

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Apoptosis
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is a selective process for the removal of unnecessary, infected or transformed cells in various biological systems. As it plays a role in the homeostasis of multicellular organisms, apoptosis is tightly regulated through two principal pathways by a number of regulatory and effector molecules.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cell Cycle Research
n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.
