Plant Origin

The root of  Bupleurum chinense DC．

Description
   1. Saikosaponin A(SSA) has antiepileptic activity, can inhibit NMDA receptor current and persistent sodium current, and inhibit epileptiform discharges induced by 4AP in a dose-dependent manner.
   2. Saikosaponin A has anti-inflammatory activity, can decrease PMA plus A23187-induced cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase)-1 activity, and the number of nasal rubs and serum TNF-α level in the ovalbumin-sensitized allergic rhinitis mouse model, and inhibit the IL-1β production.
   3. Saikosaponin A extends to alcohol self-administration the capacity to suppress and self-administration in rats ,the GABA B receptor system is likely part of the neural substrate underlying the reducing effect of SSA on alcohol self-administration.
   4. Saikosaponin A as antioxidants improve antioxidant status, supplementation with curcumin and/or saikosaponin A suppress inflammation and fibrogenesis in rats with CCl4-induced liver injury, however, the combination has no additive effects on anti-inflammation and antifibrosis.
   5. Saikosaponin A is a novel agent in the treatment of osteoclast-related diseases, such as osteoporosis.
   6. Saikosaponin A could effectively attenuate neuropathic pain in CCI rats by inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in spinal cord.
