Biological Activity

Saikosaponin C (SSC) is one of the saikosaponins that are consisted in a Chinese herb, Radix Bupleuri, it yields a potent effect on inducing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) viability and growth, also induces endothelial cells migration and capillary tube formation. [1]
Saikosaponin C can inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis by suppressing caspase-3 activation and subsequent degradation of focal adhesion kinase in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.[2]
Saikosaponin C seems to have beneficial effects on cellular tau function, it accelerates nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth and increases the assembly of microtubules (MT) and synaptic marker proteins such as synaptophysin and PSD-95, suggests SSc might be a novel therapeutic tool for treating human AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. [3]
Saikosaponin C can cure liver disease.[4]
