Applications
Astramembrangenin (Cycloastragenol) is a triterpenoid saponin compound and a hydrolysis product of the main active ingredient in Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge[1].Astramembrangenin is orally safe and has broad Extensive pharmacological effects, including telomerase activation, telomere elongation, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties[2].Astramembrangenin has antiaging properties, CAG stimulates telomerase activity in human neonatal keratinocytes and rat neuronal cells, and induces CREB activation followed by tert and bcl2 expression. Cycloastragenol (CAG) may have a novel therapeutic role in depression[2].

Cycloastragenol (CAG) is a triterpenoid saponin compound and a hydrolysis product of the main active ingredient in Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge. An increasing body of evidence has indicated that CAG has a wide spectrum of pharmacological functions, which are attracting attention in the research community. The aim of the present review paper was to review and elucidate the advanced study of CAG. The focus was on advanced studies of CAG in English and Chinese databases; the literature was collected and reviewed to summarize the latest efficacy, pharmacokinetics and adverse reactions of CAG. Extensive pharmacological effects have been attributed to CAG, including telomerase activation, telomere elongation, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties; CAG has also been reported to improve lipid metabolism. Clinical research has demonstrated that CAG activates telomerase in humans and ameliorates various biomarkers. CAG is absorbed through the intestinal epithelium via passive diffusion and undergoes first-pass hepatic metabolism. Within a certain dose range, oral CAG is relatively safe; however, underlying mechanisms associated with CAG are not clear, and thus, we should be aware of potential adverse reactions associated with CAG. According to existing studies and clinical trials, CAG is safe and has broad application prospects. However, further studies are required to fully understand its efficacy and potential adverse reactions, and to ensure the proper use of CAG is applied to treat diseases clinically.

Cycloastragenol, a naturally occurring compound in Astragali Radix, has been demonstrated to possess various pharmacological actions including anti-aging, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, antibacterial, liver and endothelium protection. However, whether cycloastragenol ameliorates heart failure remains unclear. Isoproterenol administration to rats triggered classic cardiac damage, as demonstrated by objective parameters of cardiac dysfunction. The treatment of cycloastragenol improved deranged cardiac parameters in the isoproterenol-induced heart damage model in a dose-dependent manner. At the same time, cycloastragenol markedly ameliorated cardiac histological changes and down-regulated serum levels of various neuroendocrine factors including norepinephrine, aldosterone, brain natriuretic peptide, endothelin 1, angiotensin II and so on. Moreover, the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 in rat heart were also inhibited by cycloastragenol. Mechanistically, augmenting autophagy of myocardial cells via the inhibition of AKT1-RPS6KB1 signaling contributed to the improvement of isoproterenol-induced rat heart failure by cycloastragenol. These results suggest that cycloastragenol ameliorates cardiac dysfunction and remodeling through promoting autophagy in myocardial cells and suppressing MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions, indicating that it could be a drug candidate for patients with congestive heart failure.
