Application

Hederagenin (3,23-Dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-acid), a triterpenoid saponin, is used to study the properties of triterpenoid saponins as biopesticides that prevent fungal growth, bacterial growth, and viral plant diseases. Hederagenin may be used as a reference in assays to detect it in biological fluids.
