Description
A triterpenoid saponin with diverse biological activities; inhibits HIV-1 protease activity in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 35 µM); inhibits the invasion of, and EMT in, MDA-MB-231 cells at 2.5, 5, and 10 µM; reduces increases in vascular permeability induced by acetic acid in mice, or histamine in rats, at 100 and 200 mg/kg; inhibits increases in serum glucose levels in oral glucose-loaded rats at 100 mg/kg
