Six oleanane saponins were isolated for the first time from leaves of Bellis sylvestris Cyr., the southern daisy. Their structures were established by the extensive use of 2D-NMR experiments, including COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC, CIGAR, H2BC, and HSQC-TOCSY, along with Q-TOF HRMS² analysis. All of the compounds are constituted by bayogenin as aglycone, and characterized by the presence of an oligosaccharide moiety, consisting of two to four sugar unities esterified at the C-28 carboxyl carbon. One of the isolated compounds is a bisdesmoside containing an additional sugar moiety at the C-3 carbon. The phytotoxic activity assayed against Aegilops geniculata Roth., a coexisting test species, has been evaluated revealing that all the compounds, at the highest concentrations, showed strong phytotoxicity against the leaf development.

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
