A-escin (Escin Ia) and isoescin Ia have been traditionally used clinically as the chief active ingredients of escin, a major triterpene saponin isolated from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) seeds for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, inflammation and edema. A-escin administration to prednisolone-treated rats slightly reduced the unfavorable effects of prednisolone on width of periosteal and endosteal osteoid and periosteal transverse growth in the tibia. A-escin suppresses the metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition via down-regulating LOXL2 expression. Escin Ia has being shown to inhibit pancreatic lipase.

Sample Use Guides

Mice: Gastric emptying (GE) inhibition by b-escin (escin Ib) (25 mg/kg, p.o.) was attenuated after pretreatment with a single bolus of DL-alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine methyl ester
Route of Administration: Oral
In human saphenous veins in vitro, venotonic properties were well confirmed with purified β-aescin. Achieved contractures are maximal at concentrations of 10(−3) M but are already quite evident at 10(−6)–10(−7) M. Aescin, at concentrations of 10(−3 M) or lower resulted in a clear increase of contractility in human isolated saphenous veins.
