Steroidal saponins from the genus Allium

Danuta Sobolewska et al. Phytochem Rev. 2016.

Abstract

Steroidal saponins are widely distributed among monocots, including the Amaryllidaceae family to which the Allium genus is currently classified. Apart from sulfur compounds, these are important biologically active molecules that are considered to be responsible for the observed activity of Allium species, including antifungal, cytotoxic, enzyme-inhibitory, and other. In this paper, literature data concerning chemistry and biological activity of steroidal saponins from the Allium genus has been reviewed.

Keywords: Allium; Saponins activity; Steroidal saponins.
