TL;DR: The results showed that the antifungal activity of the steroidal saponins was associated with their aglycone moieties and the number and structure of monosaccharide units in their sugar chains, suggesting that the C-27 steroidal Saponins may be considered potential antIFungal leads for further preclinical study.

TL;DR: Eighteen main compounds, including four norsesquiterpenoids and 14 phenolic compounds isolated previously from Phyllanthus emblica, together with a main constituent, proanthocyanidin polymers identified at this time from the roots, were estimated for their antiproliferative activities against MK-1, HeLa, and B16F10 cells using an MTT method.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the 80% acetone extract of Chinese toon exhibited considerable antioxidant activity in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryldydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay.

TL;DR: Six new ellagitannins, phyllanemblinins A-F (1-6), were isolated from Phyllanthus emblica, along with 30 known tannins and related compounds, and their structures were determined by spectral and chemical methods.

TL;DR: Nine protopanaxatriol glycosides isolated from mild acid hydrolysis products of crude root saponins of Panax notoginseng were identified, including ginsenoside‐Re and ‐Rg2, and complete NMR assignments of the other seven glycoside are reported for the first time.
