Ref. 3D-REA78273

Product Information

• Name: Periplocoside M
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Periplocoside M is a cardiac glycoside, which is extracted from the plant Periploca sepium, a species native to certain regions in Asia. The compound is characterized by its unique molecular structure, which is responsible for its biological activity and potential therapeutic applications. Periplocoside M acts by inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase, an enzyme critical for maintaining the electrochemical gradient across cell membranes. This inhibition disrupts ion homeostasis, leading to an increase in intracellular calcium levels, which can induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
