Published: March 1997

The extracting, isolation, and purification of saponins from Sophora japonica L. seeds yielded five triterpene glycosides which had soyasapogenol B as the aglycone. A new saponin identified was glycoside 1 which was identified as 3-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-soyasapogenol B as a minor component.

Article Synopsis
  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths, and oxaliplatin (OXA) is a primary treatment that faces challenges due to the tumor microenvironment (TME).
  • A new multifunctional nanosystem, Rg3-Lip-OXA/CaO, uses Ginsenoside Rg3 liposomes to target CRC cells, delivering OXA and calcium peroxide (CaO) together.
  • Research showed that this nanosystem had good stability and release properties, effectively targeted cancer cells, and significantly suppressed tumor growth in mice, while also showing manageable acute toxicity.

Deciphering the biosynthetic pathway of triterpene saponins in Prunella vulgaris.

Plant J

January 2025

College of Horticulture, Bioinformatics Center, Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, 210095, China.

The traditional Chinese medicinal plant Prunella vulgaris contains numerous triterpene saponin metabolites, notably ursolic and oleanolic acid saponins, which have significant pharmacological values. Despite their importance, the genes responsible for synthesizing these triterpene saponins in P. vulgaris remain unidentified.
