Description
Secoxyloganin is a secoiridoid glycoside that has been found in
L. japonica and has diverse biological activities. It is active against
E. coli and
S. aureus in a disc assay when used at a concentration of 2 mg/disc. Secoxyloganin is cytotoxic to human dermal fibroblasts (IC
50 = 78.1 μM).
In vivo, secoxyloganin (10 mg/ml) prevents hen egg white lysozyme-induced decreases in tail vein blood flow, a marker of allergic inflammation, in hen egg white lysozyme-sensitized mice.
Chemical Properties
Light brown amorphous powder, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO, derived from the Caprifoliaceae plant honeysuckle or honeysuckle.
Uses
Secoxyloganin is a component of Poraqueiba sericea stems and may be used for its cytotoxic activity.
Definition
ChEBI: Secoxyloganin is a secoiridoid glycoside that is [(2R,3R,4S)-2-hydroxy-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-vinyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-yl]acetic acid in which the anometric hydroxy group has been converted to the corresponding beta-D-glucoside. It has been isolated from several plant species and exhibits antioxidant and anti-allergic properties. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an antioxidant and an anti-allergic agent. It is a methyl ester, a member of pyrans, an enoate ester, a beta-D-glucoside, a monosaccharide derivative, a dicarboxylic acid monoester and a secoiridoid glycoside. It is a conjugate acid of a secoxyloganin(1-).
