From the stem bark of Tetrapleura tetraptera, two new oleanane-type saponins, tetrapteroside A 3-O-{6-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-hydroxyocta-2,7-dienoyl]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl}-3,27-dihydroxyoleanolic acid (1), and tetrapteroside B 3-O-{ beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-6-O-[(E)-feruloyl]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl}-3,27-dihydroxyoleanolic acid (2), were isolated. Further extractions from the roots led to the isolation of four known oleanane-type saponins. Their structures were elucidated by the combination of mass spectrometry (MS), one and two-dimensional NMR experiments.

Ginsenoside Ro, as one of the few oleanane-type ginsenosides, is well known for its unique molecular structure and biological activities. Currently, research on the biosynthesis of ginsenoside Ro is still in its early stages. Therefore, the establishment of a new ginsenoside Ro cell factory is of great significance for the in-depth development and utilization of genes related to ginsenoside Ro synthesis, as well as for the exploration of pathways to obtain ginsenoside Ro.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lipid accumulation and foam cell formation in the arterial wall. Promoting macrophage autophagy has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy against atherosclerosis. Dipsacoside B (DB) is an oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin extracted from with potential anti-atherosclerotic properties.

Article Synopsis
- Filaggrin (FLG) is a crucial protein that helps maintain skin health, and its low levels are linked to chronic inflammatory skin issues. This study investigates how Saikosaponin A (SSA), a natural compound known for its anti-inflammatory effects, impacts FLG expression in inflamed skin.
- SSA was found to counteract the FLG-reducing effects of inflammatory signals (TNFα and IFNγ) in HaCaT cells, restoring FLG levels by affecting key proteins involved in the signaling pathways that regulate FLG expression.
- The findings suggest that SSA works by inhibiting the activation of the ERK1/2 pathway and reducing the nuclear localization of specific proteins (F
