“…According to reports on phytochemical studies, P. grandiflorum contains triterpenoid saponins (platycodin D, platycoside E, platyconic acid A, and deapioplatycoside E), phenolic acids, minerals, volatile oils, polyacetylene, flavonoids, and polysaccharides that are health-promoting [7]. Pharmacological studies showed that P. grandiflorum had anti-hypercholesterolemic [10], anti-cancer [9,11], anti-proliferative [12], anti-obesity [10], anti-atherosclerotic [13], antioxidant [8,9,14], immunomodulatory [15], anti-inflammatory [14,16], immuno-enhancing [17,18], and anti-microbial [19] properties in in vitro and in vivo models. Polysaccharides from P. grandiflorum and fermented P. grandiflorum extract, which was made with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, showed immunomodulatory effects in immune cells [15,18].…”
