Lung cancer is the leading causes of cancer death worldwide (Siegel et al., 2014), mainly due to the difficulty of early diagnosis and the highly metastatic potential, which has being the hotspot of lung cancer research (Li et al., 2014). In fact, the metastasis has already developed before the diagnosis of lung cancer in most cases, for example, approximately 30 to 40% of patients with advance...

Asparagus racemosus is commonly called as satamuli, satavari, satawar found in low altitudes throughout India and belongs to family Liliaceae. It an important ethnomedicinal plant of tropical subtropical India. has seen widely described benefit immune stimulant, antioxidant, anti-abortifacient (shatvarin-1), anti-dyspepsia, anti-tussive effects. also beneficial for treatment liver cancer, stoma...

Tribulus terrestris (family Zygophyllaceae), commonly referred to as Gokshur or Gokharu puncture vine, has long been used in both Indian and Chinese medicine systems treat various ailments. Its components contain a variety of chemicals that are important for healing, such flavonoids, flavonol glycosides, steroidal saponins, alkaloids. Contains diuretic, aphrodisiac, antiurolithic, immunomodulat...

many different plant species synthesize triterpenoid saponins as part of their normal programme of growth and development. examples include plants that are exploited as sources of drugs. interest in these molecules stems from their medicinal properties, antimicrobial activity, and their likely role as determinants of plant disease resistance. daisy (bellis perennis l.) accumulates triterpenoid ...

Saponins are glycosides with triterpenoid or spirostane aglycones that demonstrate various pharmacological effects against mammalian diseases. To promote the research and development of anticancer agents from saponins, this review focuses on the anticancer properties of several typical naturally derived triterpenoid saponins (ginsenosides and saikosaponins) and steroid saponins (dioscin, polyph...

The reinvestigation of the n-BuOH extract of the roots of Clematis argentilucida led to the isolation of four new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, 1-4, four known saponins, 5-8, first isolated from the species, together with ten saponins, 9-18, reported in the preceding papers. The structures of saponins 1-8 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidences. The cyt...

Triterpenoid saponins isolated and identified from natural resources during the period April, 2007-December, 2012 are reviewed. Current techniques used in their isolation and structure determination are discussed. New triterpenoid saponins isolated along with their occurrence, selected physical data, spectroscopic methods used for their identification and the 13C NMR data of the novel aglycones...
