General description

Saponins are natural steroidal glycoside (terpenes).

Application

Saponin from Quillaja bark has been used:
  • to stain CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells
  • to lyse trophozoite-infected red blood cells
  • in immunohistochemical staining

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent hemolytic when injected i.v.; surfactant that enhances penetration of proteins and other macromolecules through cell membranes; it also has been used as an adjuvant for vaccines.
Saponins are associated with many biological and pharmacological activities. It is known to stimulate immune response in mammals. Hence it is used as vaccine adjuvants. Saponins possesses antiviral, antifungal, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effects.
Saponins solubilize the low density lipoprotein (LDL) fraction of cholesterol in micelles, thus lowering their concentration. Saponin from Quillaja bark is used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages. This saponin has been shown to enhance immune-cell proliferation in vitro.

The applicability of microbubble suspension made of saponin as a biodegradation-enhancing carrier where oxygen and pollutant-degraders are limited was studied. The saponin-microbubble suspension was used to deliver phenanthrene-degrading bacteria, inorganic nutrients, and oxygen. Bench-scale study was carried out to determine
