Saponins

Saponins stimulate bronchial secretions providing expectorant and antitussive activity.

Secondary compounds contributing to anti-inflammatory properties. Saponins generally recognized for immunomodulatory effects.

Saponins with mild expectorant and antispasmodic activity in traditional flower preparations.

Saponin expectorant mechanism well-characterized.

Triterpenoid saponins identified as primary active fraction responsible for diuretic and anti-inflammatory activity on urinary mucosa. Limited clinical evidence; traditional use supported by phytochemical rationale.

Triterpenoid saponins identified as primary active fraction responsible for diuretic activity. Increase renal blood flow without significant electrolyte loss.

Saponins contribute to the anti-inflammatory and astringent activity in hemorrhoid preparations.

Saponins partially characterised in Lysimachia species with documented anti-inflammatory activity.

Triterpenoid saponins contribute to the diuretic mechanism and support urinary tract mucosal effects consistent with traditional use.

Triterpenoid saponins support expectorant and mucosal effects consistent with traditional respiratory and wound-healing applications.

Saponin fraction contributes to diuretic activity. Standard triterpenoid saponins characterised in pharmacognosy literature.

Support the traditional use of flower infusion for respiratory complaints.
