Codonopsis lanceolata (Campanulaceae) has been used in traditional medicines, as its roots contain several kinds of 3,28-bidesmosidic triterpenoid saponin with high medicinal values. In this study, we induced hairy root-derived transgenic plants of C. lanceolata and analyzed triterpenoid saponins from the leaf, stem and root. Transgenic plants were regenerated from the hairy roots via somatic embryogenesis. The saponins are lancemaside A, B and E, foetidissimoside A, and aster saponin Hb. Transgenic plants contained richer triterpenoids saponin than wild-type plants. Major saponin lancemaside A was the most abundant saponin in the stem from transgenic-plant, $4.76mg{\cdot}1^{-1}dry$ stem. These results suggest that transgenic plants of C. lanceolata could be used as medicinal materials for the production of triterpene saponins.

A new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin together with six known saponins were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla cernua. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR spectra and chemical evidence. Compounds 1 and 6 are reported from this genus for the first time.

Bioassay-guided fractionation has led to the isolation of triterpenoid saponins such as Acutoside A (3-O-[O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyrano$yl-(1${\to}$2)-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl] oleanolic acid) from the whole plants of Viola hondoensis. Among them, Saponin 1 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, and prevented the UV-induced changes in the MMP-1 expression. In addition, compound was isolated from this plant for the first time.

Codonopsis lanceolata (Campanulaceae) has been used in traditional medicines, as its roots contain several kinds of triterpenoid saponin with high medicinal values. In this work, we induced transgenic hairy roots of C. lanceolata and analyzed triterpenoid saponins from the hairy roots and hairy root-derived transgenic plants. Hairy roots were obtained from leaf explants by the transformation of Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1000. Transgenic hairy root lines were confirmed by the transcriptional activities of rolA, B, C, and D genes by RT-PCR. Transgenic root lines actively proliferated on hormone-free medium but not in nontransformed roots. Hairy roots contained richer triterpenoids (lancemaside A, foetidissimoside A, and aster saponin Hb) than nontransformed roots. Transgenic plants were regenerated from the hairy roots via somatic embryogenesis. They showed phenotypic alterations such as shortened shoots and an increased number of axillary buds and adventitious roots. The transgenic plants also contained higher triterpenoid levels than wild-type plants. These results suggest that hairy roots and transgenic plants of C. lanceolata could be used as medicinal materials for the production of triterpene saponins.

Two triterpenoid saponine were isolated from the stems of Acer ginnala Maxim. The structures of triterpenoid saponins were established as ilexoside O, $3-O-{\alpha}-L- rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl-pubescenolic$ acid 28-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl$ ester(1) and ilexoside K, $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl-pubes-cenolic$ acid $28-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl$ ester(2). Their chemical structures have been elucidated on the basis of spectral methods.

Certain steroids and triterpenoids isolated from diverse plant families were known to posses anti-inflammatory activity. In the course of finding new anti-inflammatory natural products, some steroidal and triterpenoid saponins were isolated and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity using in vivo mouse ear edema test. At the oral dose of 100 mg/kg, several steroidal saponins and triterpenoid saponins such as hederagenin glycosides showed significant inhibition of ear edema (20∼37% inhibition), though less potent than indomethacin and hydrocortisone.

더덕은 예로부터 약용으로 사용 되어 왔으며, 더덕의 뿌리에는 약용으로 가치가 높은 여러 종류의 triterpenoid 사포닌이 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 더덕의 모상근 생육과 methyl jasmonate (MeJA)처리에 의한 사포닌 합성의 효과를 연구하였다. 더덕 모상근에 MeJA를 처리한 결과 주사포닌인 lancemaside A, B, E의 축적은 MeJA 무처리 모상근 보다 약 15% 정도 감소하였다. 반면 마이너사포닌(foetidissimoside A와 aster saponin Hb)의 함량은 무처리 모상근 보다 약15% 정도로 증가하였다. 이 결과를 통해 MeJA처리가 triterpene 사포닌의 생산조절을 위해 사용될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

초임계 유체 추출법에 의해 감초의 triterpenoid saponin(glycyrrhizin)을 추출하기 위해 50 MPa, $60^{\circ}C$와 3mL/min의 조건에서 보조용매와 soaking의 효과를 알아보았다. 순수한 초임계 이산화탄소만을 이용하여 추출한 결과 감초의 glycyrrhizin은 거의 추출되지 않았다. 99.9% methanol, ethanol과 isopropanol을 보조용매로 초임계 이산화탄소에 첨가하여 추출한 경우, 추출수율의 상승에는 큰 영향을 미치지 아니하였다. 시료를 물로 soaking하여 90% methanol을 보조용매로 사용하여 초임계 이산화탄소에 의해 추출한 경우, soaking 용매의 사용량이 증가할수록 추출수율은 증가하였고, 최고 21.68mg/g(회수율 53.25%)의 수율을 보여주었다. 한편 시료의 soaking 없이 70% methanol을 보조용매로 사용하였을 때는 유기용매추출법에 의한 수율보다 더 높은 수율을 나타내었고, 시료를 물로 soaking하여 70% ethanol을 보조용매로 초임계 이산화탄소에 첨가하여 추출하였을 때, 추출수율과 추출속도는 상승하였고, 시료의 90%(w/w)에 해당하는 물로 시료를 soaking한 경우 70% methanol을 보조용매로 사용하였을 때와 거의 동일한 추출수율을 얻을 수 있었다.

Two triterpenoid saponins were isolated from the methanol extract of Caltha minor leave(Ranunculaceae). The structure of these saponin were elucidated as hederagenin-3-O-$\alpha$-rhamnopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$2)-$\alpha$-L-arabinopyrano side and 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$2)-$\alpha$-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$4)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl ester.

Several triterpenoid saponins from root of Pulsatilla koreana Nakai (Ranunculaceae) were studied and their biological activities were reported. It is difficult to analyze triterpenoid saponins using HPLC-UV due to the lack of chromophores. So, evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) is used as a valuable alternative to UV detection. More recently, a charged aerosol detection (CAD) has been developed to improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of ELSD. In this study, we developed and validated a novel method of high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a charged aerosol detector for the simultaneous determination of four triterpenoid saponins: pulsatilloside E, pulsatilla saponin H, anemoside B4 and cussosaponin C. Analytes were separated by the Supelco Ascentis$^{(R)}$ Express C18 column (4.6 mm ${\times}$ 150 mm, 2.7 ${\mu}m$) with gradient elution of methanol and water at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min at $30^{\circ}C$. We examined various factors that could affect the sensitivity of the detectors, including various concentrations of additives, the pH of the mobile phase, and the CAD range. Linear calibration curves were obtained within the concentration ranges of 2 - 200 ${\mu}g$/mL for pulsatilloside E, anemoside $B_4$ and cussosaponin C, and 5 - 500 ${\mu}g$/mL for pulsatilla saponin H with correlation coefficient ($R^2$) greater than 0.995. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.04 - 0.2 and 2 - 5 ${\mu}g$/mL, respectively. The validity of the developed HPLC-CAD method was confirmed by satisfactory values of linearity, intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision. This method could be successfully applied to quality evaluation, quality control and monitoring of Pulsatilla koreana.
