Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Puerarin, at a dose of 25 μM, induces dose-dependent growth inhibition in HT-29 cells. This effect is accompanied by an increase in bax and a decrease in c-myc and bcl-2.
• In Vitro:
  Administering 300 mg/kg of Puerarin daily through oral ingestion to rats on a high-cholesterol diet significantly reduces the increase in total cholesterol levels in both serum and liver caused by the high-cholesterol diet.
• Cell Research:
  RAW264.7 cells are maintained at subconfluence in 95% air and 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere maintained at 37°C. The medium used for routine subculture is Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 units/mL) and streptomycin (100 μg/ mL). An MTT assay is used to measure the viability of the cells after treatment with puerarin. After the supernatants are removed for nitrite determination, cells are incubated at 37°C with MTT (0.05 mg/mL) for 4 h, and the optical density is measured at 540 nm. The concentrations of puerarin are10, 20, 40 and 100 μM.
