Hodoodo CAT#: H463045

CAS#: 631-01-6

Description: Quillaic acid is a triterpene saponin that has been found in Q. saponaria bark and has diverse biological activities. It is cytotoxic to SNU-1 and KATO III gastric cancer cells. Quillaic acid induces hot plate analgesia in mice. It reduces ear edema induced by arachidonic acid or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in mice when administered topically at doses of 0.7 and 1.6 mg/ear, respectively.
