Polyhydroxylated spirostanol saponins, characterized by three or more hydroxy substitutions in the aglycone, have various interesting biological activities. In the present study, “steroids”, “saponins”, “polyhydroxylated”, “spirostanol saponins”, and “steroidal saponins” were used as search terms to screen the literature. Cited references were collected between 1950 and 2023 from the Web of Science, SciFinder, and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI). A total of 407 polyhydroxylated spirostanol saponins were included in this review. These saponins were classified into three types, α, β, and γ. Polyhydroxylated spirostanol saponins have potential benefits, primarily anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitory activities. These compounds were found in 11 plant families and 36 genera. The top three families containing the most saponins were Asparagaceae, Melanthiaceae, and Amaryllidaceae, and the top five genera were Trillium, Helleborus, Allium, Dracaena, and Paris. The top five plants were Trillium tschonoskii Maxim., Ypsilandra thibetica Franch., Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (Franch.)Hand.‐Mazz., Helleborus thibetanus Franch., and Helleborus foetidus L. On the basis of their diverse biological activities, these saponins and related plant resources are worthy of further development and utilization.

Steroidal saponins from the genus Allium

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11101-014-9381-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Alliums have been grown for many centuries for their characteristic, pungent flavor and medicinal properties. The present review, which includes references published up to the middle of 1984, is primarily concerned with the chemical composition, flavor, and physiological properties of these crops, their extracts, and processed products. Special emphasis is placed upon the relationship between the organoleptically and biologically active components of onion and garlic. Following a brief historical introduction, current production of commercially important alliums is described and their botanical origins and interrelationships are explained. Following consideration of the major economic diseases and pests of alliums, the agronomic, husbandry, and practices associated with their cultivation are described, particular emphasis being placed upon the storage and processing of onion and garlic. The detailed, overall chemical composition and nutritional value of members of the genus Allium are presented in Section 7; after an outline of the origin and nature of flavor components and precursors, the flavor volatiles of individual members are presented. The effects of agronomic, environmental, and processing practices on chemical and flavor content and quality are considered in Section 9. The following section deals critically with the human and animal studies which have been conducted into the medical and therapeutic properties of alliums, emphasis being placed upon the studies into the antiatherosclerotic effect of onion and garlic and their essential oils. After a study of antimicrobial properties of alliums and their effects on insects and animals, an overview is presented which highlights unexplored or inadequately studied areas and suggests rewarding areas for future research.
