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.

Fruit pericarp of Sapindus species are reported to contain glycosides with hederagenin as an aglycone. To free the aglycone from the glycosides, they need to be hydrolyzed, and the commonly used method is hydrolysis with either hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.

Seven new saponins, all glycosides of hederagenin (3 beta,23- dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid), were isolated from the stem of Pometia eximia along with hederagenin and two known saponins. Their structures were established as 28-O-beta-D-apiosyl(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-, 3-O-alpha-L- arabinofuranosyl(1-->3)[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)]-beta-D- xylopyranosyl-, 3-O-beta-D-apiosyl(1-->3)[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D- glucopyranosyl-, 3-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl(1-->3)[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl- (1-->2)]-beta-L-arabinopyranosyl-
