Application

Penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose hydrate (PCG) has been used as an inhibitor of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) related metastatic activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Autophagy inducer in human PC-3 and mouse TRAMP-C2 prostate cancer cells
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).
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.

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

Cautery disbudding of goat kids is painful, but may be alleviated with pain mitigation. We therefore evaluated the effect of administering general anesthesia (isoflurane) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (meloxicam) on goat kid behavior and physiology following cautery disbudding. Trial
