Otophylloside B
Otophylloside B shows anti-aging effects, it can extend lifespan, increase heat stress-resistance, delay body paralysis, and increase the chemotaxis response in C. elegans models of Alzheimer's disease. Otophylloside B can suppress the seizure-like locomotor activity caused by pentylenetetrazole in zebrafish.

24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Otophylloside B Protects Against Aβ Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans Models of Alzheimer's Disease.[Pubmed:
28194725 ]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major public health concern worldwide and the few drugs currently available only treat the symptoms. Hence, there is a strong need to find more effective anti-AD agents. Cynanchum otophyllum is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating epilepsy, and Otophylloside B (Ot B), isolated from C. otophyllum, is the essential active component.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Having previously identified anti-aging effects of Ot B, we evaluated Ot B for AD prevention in C. elegans models of AD and found that Ot B extended lifespan, increased heat stress-resistance, delayed body paralysis, and increased the chemotaxis response.
CONCLUSIONS:
Collectively, these results indicated that Ot B protects against Aβ toxicity. Further mechanistic studies revealed that Ot B decreased Aβ deposition by decreasing the expression of Aβ at the mRNA level.
Genetic analyses showed that Ot B mediated its effects by increasing the activity of heat shock transcription factor (HSF) by upregulating the expression of hsf-1 and its target genes, hsp-12.6, hsp-16.2 and hsp-70. Ot B also increased the expression of sod-3 by partially activating DAF-16, while SKN-1 was not essential in Ot B-mediated protection against Aβ toxicity.

The Lifespan-Promoting Effect of Otophylloside B in Caenorhabditis elegans.[Pubmed:
26112394]
Aging is the major risk factor for many human diseases and degeneration. Thus, clinically effective medicine could delay the process of aging and aging-related diseases are desperately wanted. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), some were claimed to slow down aging. Qingyangshen (Cynanchum otophyllum schneid) is such a TCM.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Here, we assayed the longevity effect of compound Otophylloside B (Ot B), a C-21 steroidal glycoside isolated from Qingyangshen, in Caenorhabditis elegans, which is a popular model for aging research.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results showed that Ot B could modestly extend the lifespan of C. elegans, delay the age-related decline of body movement and improve the stress resistance. Further investigating the molecular mechanism of lifespan extension effect revealed that Ot B could activate the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16. Ot B could not further extend the lifespan of long-lived mutant of insulin/IGF-1-like receptor (daf-2). In addition, Ot B also requires SIR-2.1 and CLK-1 which is an enzyme in ubiquinone synthesis, for lifespan extension.

Bioactive C21 Steroidal Glycosides from the Roots of Cynanchum otophyllum That Suppress the Seizure-like Locomotor Activity of Zebrafish Caused by Pentylenetetrazole.[Pubmed:
26135914]
Six new C21 steroidal glycosides, cynotophyllosides A-F (1-6), together with 16 known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum otophyllum.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. The three major components, otophylloside F (15), Otophylloside B (17), and rostratamine 3-O-β-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranoside (18), suppressed the seizure-like locomotor activity caused by pentylenetetrazole in zebrafish.
CONCLUSIONS:
Preliminary structure-activity relation studies revealed that a pregnene skeleton with a C-12 ester group (ikemaoyl > cinnamoyl > hydroxy > p-hydroxybenzoyl) and a C-3 sugar chain consisting of three 2,6-dideoxysaccharide units is essential for this suppressive activity.
