Platicodigenin(CAT: I017092) is an oleanane-type triterpenoid aglycone derived from saponins present in Platycodon grandiflorus (balloon flower), a traditional medicinal herb. It has been investigated for its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hepatoprotective, and immunomodulatory properties. Research suggests that Platicodigenin can inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, induce apoptosis in tumor cells, and protect liver function by reducing oxidative stress and regulating metabolic pathways. Its role as the aglycone backbone of various bioactive saponins also makes it important in natural product chemistry and pharmacological studies. With its broad therapeutic potential, Platicodigenin serves as a promising natural compound for research in inflammation, cancer, liver diseases, and immune regulation.
