Overview
The present review paper is a continuation of the previous paper dealing with the glycosides ofSolidago virgaurea L. It summarized the knowledge about saponins present in both Solidagocanadensis L. and Solidago gigantea Ait. var. serotina (O. Kuntze) Cronquist. From S. canadensis,eight saponins, i.e. canadensissaponins, have been isolated till now. From S. gigantea, fourgiganteasaponins have been isolated. The saponins of S. canadensis and S. gigantea are ofbidesmosidic type and differ from one another in the length and structure of saccharide chains.These chains are not acylated as the saponins of S. virgaurea. Giganteasaponins differ fromcanadensissaponins in three saccharide units bonded to the C 3 of bayogenin. New information aboutthe inflammatory and antioxidative activities of their extracts are also presented.
