Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as steroidal saponins. These are saponins in which the aglycone moiety is a steroid. The steroidal aglycone is usually a spirostane, furostane, spirosolane, solanidane, or curcubitacin derivative.

Mechanism of ToxicityAlpha-Chaconine has inhibitory effect on lung adenocarcinoma cell metastasis in vitro. Alpha-chaconine could inhibit phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Akt, whereas it did not affected phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulating kinase (ERK) and p38. In addition, alpha-chaconine significantly decreased the nuclear level of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-_B) and the binding ability of NF-_B. Therefore, alpha-chaconine inhibited A549 cell metastasis by a reduction of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activities involving suppression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/NF-_B (PI3K/Akt/NF-_B) signaling pathway. Alpha-chaconine has exhibited its antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on the growth of cancer cells originating from human skin, liver, prostate, breast, and colon. In addition to the cytotoxicity in various cancer cells, R-chaconine induces significant cytotoxicity in Chang, normal human liver cells. (3)
