A new steroidal saponin was isolated from the leaves of Agave attenuata. Its structure was established as (3beta,beta,25S)-spirostan-3-yl O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-beta-D-galactopyranoside. The structural identification was performed using detailed analyses of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (COSY, HETCOR, and COLOC) and chemical conversions. The hemolytic activity of the steroidal saponin was evaluated using an in vitro assay.

Background: Tooth extraction without socket preservation will lead to reduction in the dimensions and volume of the alveolar bone. Bone defects resulting from tooth extraction not only hinder prosthetic reconstruction but also present aesthetic issues and complicating dental implant treatment. Purple leaves contains flavonoids, steroids, tannins, saponins,and non-toxic alkaloids.

Article Synopsis
- Dioscin is a natural steroidal saponin that shows antitumor effects by triggering apoptosis in various cancers, particularly through the Noxa protein.
- The study found that Dioscin enhances Noxa expression by reducing BMI1 levels, leading to increased tumor cell death in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
- Additionally, Dioscin demonstrates effective tumor suppression in animal models, offering potential new strategies for treating OSCC.

Melanoma (malignant melanoma, MM) is a highly aggressive tumor, ranking as the third most common cutaneous malignancy and characterized by high metastatic potential, high mortality rates, and poor prognosis. Solanine, a major steroidal alkaloid found in potatoes, has widely reported anticancer benefits, though its inhibitory effects on melanoma cells are less studied. This study aimed to observe the effects of solanine on the proliferation, apoptosis, and related apoptotic proteins in melanoma A375 and A2058 cells and to investigate its possible anti-tumor mechanisms.
