“…The antioxidant [6] , in vitro antiplasmodial [4,5] and antidiabetic [7] activities have been reported. Triterpenoid saponins have been reported in the leaves [8] . In this study, we reported the in vivo antiplasmodial and antiulcer activities of M. scadens as the plant is traditionally used as remedy for malaria and ulcer.…”

“…The antioxidant [6] , in vitro antiplasmodial [4,5] and antidiabetic [7] , activities have been reported. Triterpenoid saponins have been reported in the leaves [8] . There is no information on anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of this plant, hence we reported in this study the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of M. scandens in rodent.…”

Esters of new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins from Schefflera kwangsiensis

“…Comparison of the NMR and MS data with reported values led to the identification of structures of the artifacts (12-20) as the ethyl ester (12) and butyl ester (13) of schekwangsienside D (Wang et al, 2014a), the methyl (14) and ethyl esters (15) of scheffleside H (Wang et al, 2014b), the methyl (16), ethyl (17), and n-butyl (Pancharoen et al, 1994) (Penders and Delaude, 1994) (Nie et al, 1984). The location of ester groups was deduced from the 2D NMR data.…”
