Biological activities and distribution of plant saponins
S G Sparg et al. J Ethnopharmacol. 2004 Oct.
Abstract
Plant saponins are widely distributed amongst plants and have a wide range of biological properties. The more recent investigations and findings into their biological activities were summarized. Isolation studies of saponins were examined to determine which are the more commonly studied plant families and in which families saponins have been identified.
