Neither androgen ablation nor chemotherapeutic agents are effective in reducing the risk of prostate cancer progression. On the other hand, multifaceted effects of phytochemicals, such as triterpene saponins, on cancer cells have been suggested. A promising safety and tolerability profile indicate
Triterpene saponosides are widely distributed plant secondary metabolites characterized by relatively low systemic cytotoxicity and a range of biological activities. These include anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, vasoprotective and antitumor properties. In particular, the ability of saponins to
We investigated the effect of a triterpene saponoside from Lysimachia thyrsiflora L. upon the viability, proliferation, morphology and cell motility of human melanoma HTB-140 cells and human skin fibroblasts (HSFs). The compound, denoted LTS-4, decreased the viability and rate of cell growth of both
Triterpene saponins (saponosides) are found in a variety of higher plants and display a wide range of pharmacological activities, including expectorant, anti-inflamatory, vasoprotective, gastroprotective and antimicrobial properties. Recently, a potential anticancer activity of saponins has been
Triterpene saponins (saponosides) are found in higher plants and display a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. The antitumor effects of saponins have been proved by their cytotoxic, cytostatic, proapoptotic, and anti-invasive effects in many cellular models. Saponins hold great
