The saponins: polar isoprenoids with important and diverse biological activities

Saponins are polar molecules that consist of a triterpene or steroid aglycone with one or more sugar chains. They are one of the most numerous and diverse groups of plant natural products. These molecules have important ecological and agronomic functions, contributing to pest and pathogen resistance and to food quality in crop plants. They also have a wide range of commercial applications in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. Although primarily found in plants, saponins are produced by certain other organisms, including starfish and sea cucumbers. The under explored biodiversity of this class of natural products is likely to prove to be a vital resource for discovery of high-value compounds. This review will focus on the biological activity of some of the best-studied examples of saponins, on the relationship between structure and function, and on prospects for synthesis of ‘‘designer’’ saponins.

Silver complexation and tandem mass spectrometry for differentiation of triterpenoid saponins from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel

For detection and differentiation of two types of triterpenoid saponins based on different aglycons of the lupane and oleanane skeleton from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel, the silver ion was introduced and electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry was applied to analyze eleven triterpenoid saponin silver complexes. The quasi-molecular ion [M+Ag](+) was observed in the full-scan MS spectra of all the silver complexes. The MS(2) data of the [M+Ag](+) ion provided structural information on the sugar sequence of the oligosaccharide chains and the aglycon of the saponins. There are two patterns in the cleavage pathway of oleanane-type saponins. One is elimination of the sugar chain and subsequent loss of the carboxylic group which is the same as the cleavage of lupine-type saponins. The other is loss of the distinguishing ions at m/z 72 and 28 (C(2)H(4)) followed by loss of the carboxylic group. Diagnostic fragmentation pathways of the silver complexes of the saponins allow successful identification of the two types of saponins from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel.     

Rapid characterization of triterpene saponins from Conyza blinii by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry

Conyza blinii Le'vl is a medicinal herb used for the treatment of inflammation in Chinese folk medicine. Its major bioactive constituents are triterpene saponins, most of which contain 6–8 sugar residues. In this report, electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry fragmentation behaviors of bisdesmosidic triterpene saponins (conyzasaponin A, B, and C) were studied in both positive and negative ion modes with an ion‐trap mass spectrometer. In full scan mass spectrometry, these saponins gave predominant [M–H]^? and [M+Na]⁺ ions, which determined the molecular weights. In tandem mass spectrometry (MSⁿ, n = 2–4), the [M–H]^? and [M+Na]⁺ ions yielded fragments [Y_0α–H]^? and [B_α+Na]⁺, which were diagnostic for the structures of the triterpene skeleton and sugar chains. The structural elucidation was approved by accurate mass data using IT‐TOF‐MS. An interpretation guideline based on MSⁿ (n = 2–4) diagnostic ions was proposed in order to elucidate the chemical structures of unknown triterpene saponins in C. blinii extract. The saponins in C. blinii were separated by liquid chromatography with a methanol/acetonitrile/water solvent system, and then analyzed by ion‐trap and IT‐TOF mass spectrometers. Based on the interpretation guideline, a total of 35 triterpenoid saponins were tentatively identified. Among them, 15 saponins had been previously reported, and the other 20 saponins were reported from Conyza species for the first time. This study indicates that LC/MS is a powerful technology for the rapid characterization of complicated saponins in herbal extracts. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Rapid identification of saponins in plant extracts by electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

Electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)) and liquid chromatography coupled with on-line mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) were applied to characterize saponins in crude extracts from Panax ginseng. The MS(n) data of the [M - H](-) ions of saponins can provide structural information on the sugar sequences of the saccharide chains and on the sapogins of saponins. By ESI-MS(n), non-isomeric saponins and isomeric saponins with different aglycones can be determined rapidly in plant extracts. LC/MS/MS is a good complementary analytical tool for determination of isomeric saponins. These approaches constitute powerful analytical tools for rapid screening and structural assignment of saponins in plant extracts.     

New Triterpenoid Glycosides from the Roots of Camellia oleifera Abel

Five new triterpenoid saponins, oleiferosides I–M ( 1 – 5 , resp.) were isolated from the roots of Camellia oleifera Abel . Their structures were elucidated by a combination of 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chemical methods. All the compounds were identified as oleanane‐type saponins with sugar moieties linked to C(3) of the aglycone. In addition, cytotoxic activities of these saponins were evaluated against four human tumor cell lines (A549, B16, BEL‐7402, and MCF‐7) by using the 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) in vitro assay. All of the compounds showed significant cytotoxic activities against the tested cell lines.

Multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry for differentiation of isomeric saponins

Four isomers of steroidal saponins were differentiated using multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry combined with electrospray ionization (ESI-MS(n)). With the addition of lithium salt, the [M+Li](+) ions of saponins were observed in the ESI spectra. MS(n) spectra of these [M+Li](+) ions provided detailed structural information and allowed differentiation of the four isomeric saponins. The cross-ring cleavage ions from the saccharide chains of the saponins could be used as diagnostic ions for information concerning the linkage of the sugar moieties of the saponins. The masses of the X, A, Y and C type fragment ions formed from [M+Li](+) ions of the isomeric saponins provided information defining the methyl group locations.
