triterpenoid saponins

Triterpenoid saponins are triterpenes which belong to the group of saponin compounds.

Ivy foliage contains triterpenoid saponins and falcarinol.

Chemically, they are dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins.

Achyranthes aspera contains triterpenoid saponins which possess oleanolic acid as the aglycone.

The plant also contains triterpenoid saponins of the hydroxylated oleanolic acid type and tannins (including phlobatannins).

Cynomorium contains anthocyanic glycosides, triterpenoid saponins, and lignans.

It is widely distributed in food and plants where it exists as a free acid or as an aglycone of triterpenoid saponins.

Its chemical constituents include the triterpenoid saponins gypenosides which are closely structurally related to the ginsenosides which are present in ginseng.

The seed contains triterpenoid saponins and flavonoids, such as aescuflavoside and aescuflavoside A, which are glycosides of quercetin.

Dammarane is a tetracyclic triterpene found in sapogenins (forming triterpenoid saponins) like those of ginseng (ginsenosides : panaxatriol and protopanaxadiol).

The best characterized compounds in Bacopa monnieri are dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins known as bacosides, with jujubogenin or pseudo-jujubogenin moieties as aglycone units.

The principal dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins from the roots and flower buds of Panax notoginseng were found to show potent hepatoprotective effects from injury induced by d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide.
