Overview | platycodin is a typical two sugar chain saponin, water soluble, not easy to separate. Platycodin mainly includes two kinds of sapogenin, one is Platycodigenin, and the other is polygalacic acid. At present, most of the isolated saponins belong to these two sapogenins, including platycodin D, platycodin E, platycodin D3, Polygala saponin D, etc. |
Use | platycodin is used as a drug or health product and food additive for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia, it has the advantages of obvious curative effect and less toxic and side effects. |
biological activity | Platicodigenin was isolated from Platycodon grandiflorum. |
