Main Results:

  • Six new triterpenoid saponins were identified and structurally elucidated.
  • Two known saponins, acutoside A and calenduloside C, were also isolated.
  • The ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts showed no cytotoxic activity.
  • The saponin mixture demonstrated hemolytic activity, causing 50% hemolysis at 23 microg/ml.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully isolated and characterized novel triterpenoid saponins from Pometia ridleyi.
  • The findings suggest potential applications for these saponins, particularly regarding their hemolytic properties, while highlighting a lack of cytotoxic effects.
