Is the Membrane Lipid Matrix a Key Target for Action of Pharmacologically Active Plant Saponins?
This study was focused on the molecular mechanisms of action of saponins and related compounds (sapogenins and alkaloids) on model lipid membranes. Steroids and triterpenes were tested. A systematic analysis of the effects of these chemicals on the physicochemical properties of the lipid bilayers an...
