Description

Saikogenin A is a natural compound found in the tuberous roots of Pueraria lobata that has been shown to have a variety of biological activities. Saikogenin A inhibits protein synthesis through a number of mechanisms, including interfering with the production of growth factors, blocking the conversion of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids to prostaglandins, and inhibiting the activity of human liver cancer cells. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to inhibit UV absorption as well as erythromycin-induced uvB damage in human skin cells. The triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry analysis reveals that saikogenin A has absorptions at 336, 338, and 340 nm in urine samples. This suggests that saikogenin A may be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes into metabolites with different absorption spectra.
