We screened some phytochemicals for cytotoxic activity to human cancer cells and identified Soyasapogenol-A (Snol-A) as a potent candidate anti-cancer compound. Interestingly, Soyasapogenin-I (Snin-I) was ineffective. Viability assays endorsed toxicity of Snol-A to a wide variety of cancer cells. Of
Soyasaponins are bioactive compounds found in many legumes. Although crude soyasaponins have been shown to have anti-colon carcinogenic activity, there have been no structure-activity studies. In this study, therefore, purified soyasaponins and soyasapogenins were tested for their ability to
The anti-inflammatory properties of soyasaponins (especially soyasaponins with different chemical structures) have scarcely been investigated. We investigated the inhibitory effects of five structural types of soyasaponins (soyasaponin A(1), A(2), I and soyasapogenol A, B) on the induction of nitric
