Methyl protodioscin(NSC-698790) is a furostanol bisglycoside with antitumor properties; shows to reduce proliferation, cause cell cycle arrest. IC50 value: Target: in vitro: MPD showed growth inhibitory effects in A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The significant G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptotic effect were also seen in A549 cells treated with MPD. MPD-induced apoptosis was accompanied by a significant reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c to cytosol, activation of caspase-3, downregulation of Bcl-2, p-Bad, and upregulation of Bax [1]. In THP-1 macrophages, MPD increases levels of ABCA1 mRNA and protein in dose- and time-dependent manners, and apoA-1-mediated cholesterol efflux. MPD also decreases the gene expressions of HMGCR, FAS and ACC for cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis [2].

The cytotoxicity of methyl protodioscin against human cancer cell lines in vitro.[Pubmed:12901285]
Cancer Invest. 2003 Jun;21(3):389-93.
Methyl protodioscin (NSC-698790) was a furostanol saponin isolated from the rhizome of Dioscorea collettii var. hypoglauca (Dioscoreaceae), a Chinese herbal remedy for the treatment of cervical carcinoma, carcinoma of the urinary bladder, and renal tumors for centuries. To systematically evaluate its potential anticancer activity, Methyl protodioscin was tested cytotoxicity in vitro against human cancer cell lines by the NCI's (National Cancer Institute) anticancer drug screen. As a result, Methyl protodioscin showed strong cytotoxicity against most cell lines from solid tumors with GI50 < or = 10.0 microM, especially selectively against one colon cancer line (HCT-15) and one breast cancer line (MDA-MB-435) with GI50 < 2.0 microM but moderate cytotoxicity was shown against leukemia cell lines with GI50 10-30 microM. The data are consistent with the fact that the rhizome of D. collettii var. hypoglauca has been employed for the treatment of solid tumors rather than leukemia in China for centuries. Based on an analysis using the COMPARE computer program with Methyl protodioscin as a seed compound, no compounds in the NCI's anticancer drug screen database have cytotoxicity patterns similar to those of Methyl protodioscin, indicating a potential novel mechanism of anticancer action.
In vivo antiosteoporotic activity of a fraction of Dioscorea spongiosa and its constituent, 22-O-methylprotodioscin.[Pubmed:15114498]
Planta Med. 2004 Mar;70(3):220-6.
The antiosteoporotic activity of the 90 % EtOH fraction of the water extract of rhizomes of Dioscorea spongiosa and methylprotodioscin, its major constituent, were examined in the model of postmenopausal bone loss using ovariectomized (OVX) rats or mice. After 6 weeks treatment, the proximal tibia of rats or mice and the distal femora of mice were scanned by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Both the 90 % EtOH fraction (100 mg/kg/d) and methylprotodioscin (50 mg/kg/d) significantly inhibited bone loss in bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in total, cancellous and cortical bones, and the decrease in bone strength indexes induced by OVX, without side effect on the uterus.
Dioscin and methylprotodioscin isolated from the root of Asparagus cochinchinensis suppressed the gene expression and production of airway MUC5AC mucin induced by phorbol ester and growth factor.[Pubmed:25981923]
Phytomedicine. 2015 May 15;22(5):568-72.
BACKGROUND: The root of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. has been utilized as mucoregulators and expectorants for controlling the airway inflammatory diseases in folk medicine. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: We investigated whether dioscin and methylprotodioscin isolated from the root of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. suppress the gene expression and production of airway MUC5AC mucin induced by phorbol ester and growth factor. STUDY DESIGN: Confluent NCI-H292 cells were pretreated with dioscin or methylprotodioscin for 30 min and then stimulated with EGF or PMA for 24 h. The MUC5AC mucin gene expression was measured by RT-PCR. Production of MUC5AC mucin protein was measured by ELISA. RESULTS: (1) Dioscin and methylprotodioscin suppressed the expression of MUC5AC mucin gene induced by EGF or PMA; (2) dioscin suppressed the production of MUC5AC mucin induced by either EGF at 10(-5) M (p < 0.05) and 10(-6) M (p < 0.05) or PMA at 10(-4) M (p < 0.05), 10(-5) M (p < 0.05) and 10(-6) M (p < 0.05); (3) methylprotodioscin also suppressed the production of MUC5AC mucin induced by either EGF at 10(-4) M (p < 0.05) or PMA at 10(-4) M (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that dioscin and methylprotodioscin isolated from the root of Asparagus cochinchinensis suppress the gene expression and production of MUC5AC mucin, by directly acting on airway epithelial cells, and the results are consistent with the traditional use of Asparagus cochinchinensis as remedy for diverse inflammatory pulmonary diseases.
Methyl protodioscin induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in A549 human lung cancer cells.[Pubmed:25210320]
Pharmacogn Mag. 2014 Jul;10(39):318-24.
BACKGROUND: Methyl protodioscin (MPD) is a furostanol bisglycoside with antitumor properties. It has been shown to reduce proliferation, cause cell cycle arrest. OBJECTIVE: The present study elucidates the mechanism underlying MPD's apoptotic effects, using the A549 human lung cancer cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was obtained from the Cell Bank of the Animal Experiment Center, North School Region, Sun Yat-Sen University. All of the cells were grown in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA), penicillin (10,000 U/l), and streptomycin (100 mg/l) at 37 degrees C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere. The induction of apoptosis was observed in flow cytometry and fluorescent staining experiments. RESULTS: MPD showed growth inhibitory effects in A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The significant G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptotic effect were also seen in A549 cells treated with MPD. MPD-induced apoptosis was accompanied by a significant reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c to cytosol, activation of caspase-3, downregulation of Bcl-2, p-Bad, and upregulation of Bax. CONCLUSION: Our results show that the induction of apoptosis by MPD involves multiple molecular pathways and strongly suggest that Bcl-2 family proteins signaling pathways. In addition, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial cytochrome c and caspase-3 were also closely associated with MPD-induced apoptotic process in human A549 cells.
Methyl protodioscin increases ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux while inhibiting gene expressions for synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides by suppressing SREBP transcription and microRNA 33a/b levels.[Pubmed:25733328]
Atherosclerosis. 2015 Apr;239(2):566-70.
Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) regulate homeostasis of LDL, HDL and triglycerides. This study was aimed to determine if inhibition of SREBPs by Methyl protodioscin (MPD) regulates downstream gene and protein expressions of lipid metabolisms. In THP-1 macrophages, MPD increases levels of ABCA1 mRNA and protein in dose- and time-dependent manners, and apoA-1-mediated cholesterol efflux. The underlying mechanisms for the effects is that MPD inhibits the transcription of SREBP1c and SREBP2, and decreases levels of microRNA 33a/b hosted in the introns of SREBPs, which leads to reciprocally increase ABCA1 levels. In HepG2 cells, MPD shows the same effects as these observed in THP-1 macrophages. MPD also decreases the gene expressions of HMGCR, FAS and ACC for cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis. MPD further promotes LDL receptor through reducing the PCSK9 level. Collectively, the study demonstrates that MPD potentially increase HDL cholesterol while reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
