Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Polyporenic acid C (PPAC) significantly reduced cell proliferation via induction of apoptosis as evidenced by sub-G1 analysis, annexin V-FITC staining, and increase in cleavage of procaspase-8, -3, and poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP). However, unlike our previously reported lanostane-type triterpenoid, pachymic acid, treatment of cells with PPAC was not accompanied by disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and increase in cleavage of procaspase-9. Further, PPC-induced apoptosis was inhibited by caspase-8 and pan-caspase inhibitors but not by a caspase-9 inhibitor.
