Orcinol glucoside (Sakakin) (OG), an active constituent isolated from the rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn, shows potent antioxidative and anxiolytic activities without sedative effects.
Curculigoside B shows antioxidative and antiosteoporotic activities, it can decrease area of bone resorption pit, osteoclastic formation and TRAP activity.
1. Curculigoside (Curculigoside A) can prevent bone loss , improve osteogenesis and inhibit osteoclastogenesis of hAFSCs, suggesting its potential use to regulate hAFSC osteogenic differentiation for treating bone disorders. 2. Curculigoside can promote calcium deposition and increase the levels of ALP and Runx2 in osteoblasts under oxidative stress via anti-oxidative character. 3. Curculigoside possesses potent antioxidant properties against oxidative stress insults. can protect endothelial cells against oxidative injury induced by H2O2, suggesting that this compound may constitute a promising intervention against cardiovascular disorders.
Curculigoside C is a natural product of Curculigo, Amaryllidaceae. The catalog number is TN3732 and the CAS number is 851713-74-1. Curculigoside C can be used as a reference standard.
