From the whole plant of white clover, Trifolium repens, five new triterpenoid saponins, designated cloversaponins I-V, were isolated together with four known saponins, beta-D-glucoronopyranosylsoyasapogenol B, soyasaponin I, soyasaponin II and azukisaponin II as their methyl esters. Their structures
Mutagenic activity of medicagenic acid, medicagenic acid 3-0-glucopyranoside and soyasaponin I was tested by the Ames method with S. typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102 in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). These saponins have been isolated and identified from
Plants from the genus Trifolium have been used in traditional medicine by many cultures. In Turkish folk medicine, for example, some Trifolium species are used for their expectorant, analgesic, antiseptic properties and also to treat rheumatic aches. Some species are also grown as pasture crops for
Seeds of 57 species of the genus Trifolium have been studied for the occurrence and concentration of soyasapogenol B glycosides and flavonoids. It was shown that all tested species contained soyasaponin I and in some species astragaloside VIII and/or 22-O-glucoside and 22-O-diglucoside of
Plant uridine 5'-diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UGTs) influence the physiochemical properties of several classes of specialized metabolites including triterpenoids via glycosylation. To uncover the evolutionary past of UGTs of soyasaponins (a group of beneficial triterpene glycosides widespread
