Features: Saponins are one of the important components of the natural product chemical library, with various bioactivities such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation, anti-viral, anti-fungal, spermicidal, and liver-protective activities. This book compiles 600 active saponin compounds discovered so far, including 380 triterpenoid saponins and 220 steroid saponins. The book is classified and arranged according to the structural types and Chinese names of saponins. It includes oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, ursane-type triterpenoid saponins, lupane-type triterpenoid saponins, heboane-type triterpenoid saponins, cycloartane-type triterpenoid saponins, lanostane-type triterpenoid saponins, dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins, cucurbitane-type triterpenoid saponins, and steroid saponins. For each saponin, the book provides detailed information such as its name, structural formula, molecular formula, relative molecular weight, physicochemical constants and spectral data, biological activity and toxicity, source, and references. The entries are clear and easy to consult, featuring scientific, concise, and practical characteristics. It can serve as a reference book for professionals engaged in natural product research, teaching, development, and production.
