The increased interest in the study of growth-regulating activity triterpene glycosides (TG) recent years is largely due to need create new highly effective environmentally friendly plant growth biostimulants, use which considered as an important strategy managing productivity and stress resistance agricultural crops. Тhe review presents information available literature on phytoregulatory TG wi...

The adjuvant effect of Quillaja saponaria saponin (QSS) on protection of turbot fry was investigated with immersion vaccination of formalin-killed Vibrio anguillarum O1 and various concentrations of QSS (5, 25, 45 and 65 mg/L). Fish were challenged at days 7, 14 and 28 post-vaccination. Significantly high relative percent of survival (RPS) ((59.1 ± 13.6)%, (81.7 ± 8.2)%, (77.8 ± 9.6)%) were rec...

Cell permeation and durable effects of triterpenoidal saponin preparations from soybean (SbS), Quillaja saponaria Molina (QsS) and Gypsophila paniculata (GypS), were studied. A concentration-dependent change in hemolysis rates was observed when cells were incubated with QsS or GypS, but not with SbS. Dose dependence was also observed for the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; MW 142,000) an...

Vitamin E is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals due to its antioxidant and non-antioxidant biological activities. The α-tocopherol acetate form is often used in foods and other products due to its high biological activity and chemical stability. In this study, we examined the influence of carrier oil type on the bioaccessibility and molecular form of emulsified vitamin E using a ...

Potent immunoadjuvants are needed to elicit responses following mucosal delivery. PLGA (poly[D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid]) nanospheres, Quillaja saponin (QS) and cross-linked dextran microspheres (CDM) as drug delivery and absorption enhancer adjuvants were evaluated. PLGA nanospheres were prepared by solvent evaporation method. Particulate characteristics of nanospheres were studied by optical...

     The goal of this study was to prepare and characterize alginate microspheres as an antigen delivery system and adjuvant for immunization against leishmaniasis. Microspheres encapsulated with autoclaved Leishmania major (ALM) and Quillaja saponin (QS) were prepared by an emulsification technique and characterized for size, encapsulation efficiency and release profile of encapsulate...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Molecular phylogenies have suggested a new circumscription for Fabales to include Leguminosae, Quillajaceae, Surianaceae and Polygalaceae. However, recent attempts to reconstruct the interfamilial relationships of the order have resulted in several alternative hypotheses, including a sister relationship between Quillajaceae and Surianaceae, the two species-poor families of F...

The infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common but overlooked non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Treatment relies on one class of drugs, the 5-nitroimidazoles, but resistance is widespread. New drugs are urgently needed. We reported the effect of crude and purified saponin fractions of Manilkara rufula against Trichomonas vaginalis. The compound responsible for ...

in this study, the biological effects of sugar beet leaf saponins on spotted alfalfa aphid was evaluated using thin layer chromatography. after saponin extraction from the leaf, three saponin concentrations together with a diet lacking saponin (control) were fed to aphids in five replications. the aphids’ survival and fertility were evaluated and analysed. results not only showed fertility impa...
