Overview

Pseudoginsenoside F11 (PF11) is a natural ocotillol-type saponin primarily derived from *Panax quinquefolius* (American ginseng). It has been identified as a potent inhibitor of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2 (PRPS2) transcription, a key driver of hyperactive de novo nucleotide synthesis in metastatic cancers. Mechanistically, PF11 directly binds to the transcription factor YBX1, enhancing its affinity for the PRPS2 promoter. This binding enables YBX1 to compete with and displace the transcriptional activator c-Myc, subsequently recruiting the NuRD corepressor complex to repress PRPS2 expression. This pathway effectively attenuates the stemness and pulmonary metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Beyond oncology, PF11 has been extensively studied for its neuroprotective effects, demonstrating potential in preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease, ischemic stroke, and drug-induced cognitive impairment through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
