Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Saponins are complex molecules made up of sugars linked to a triterpenoid or a steroid or a steroidal alkaloid. These natural products are attracting much attention in recent years because of the host of biological activities they exhibit. The diversity of structural features, the challenges of isol...
