A facile approach was developed for synthesizing an important group of plant diosgenyl saponins, three members (dioscin, polyphyllin D, and balanitin 7) with promising bioactivities were prepared.

This study was carried out to assess the cytotoxicity of several new synthetic steroidal saponins against the human myeloid leukemia cell lines (HL-60 and U937) and against human melanoma cells (SK-MEL-1). Several diosgenyl glycosides analyzed showed strong cell growth inhibition which was associated with alterations in cell cycle progression and induction of apoptosis. Studies of cytochrome c release and caspase-9 activation suggest a main role of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in the mechanism of cytotoxicity caused by this kind of compounds.
Synthesis of three diosgenyl saponins: Dioscin, polyphyllin D, and balanitin 7

, p. 53 - 62 (2007/10/03)
Dioscin, polyphyllin D, and balanitin 7, which belong to a group of structurally similar diosgenyl saponins with promising bioactivities, were synthesized by stepwise glycosylation. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
