Advances in Triterpenoid Saponins Research 2007-2012

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 of the parent saponins are compiled. The biological properties of those molecules are also included. Green corrosion inhibition effects of saponins and biosynthesis of triterpenoid saponins and production of triterpenoid saponins by tissue culture of those molecules are also discussed.
