Astragaloside I is a saponin originally isolated from the dried plant roots of Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.1 Astragaloside I has osteogenic activities in vitro.2 It induces differentiation and matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells, a murine osteoblastic cell line, and increases alkaline phosphatase activity. It also increases the expression of osteoblast-related genes in a concentration-dependent manner (10-40 µM), including genes in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
