Cytotoxic Triterpene Glycosides from Sea Cucumbers
TLDR
The structural characteristics and the cytotoxic properties of triterpene glycosides isolated from sea cucumbers in the last five years are reviewed, focusing on structure-activity correlations and research on their mechanisms of action.
Acetylated Triterpene Glycosides and Their Biological Activity from Holothuroidea Reported in the Past Six Decades
TLDR
The structure of acetylated saponins, their biological activity, and their structure-activity relationships are highlighted; including induction of caspase, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, anticancer, antifungal and antibacterial activities of these compounds.
Chemical Biodiversity and Bioactivities of Saponins in Echinodermata with an Emphasis on Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea)
TLDR
The here presented data revealed that holothurians, holotoxins, cucumariosides, and echinosids are not only the most abundant saponin compounds in various genera of sea cucumbers but that these saponins can also be used as potential chemotaxonomic markers for different sea cucumber species.
Triterpenoids in Echinoderms: Fundamental Differences in Diversity and Biosynthetic Pathways
TLDR
This review aims to highlight the diversity of triterpenoids in echinoderms by focusing on sterols andtriterpenoid glycosides, but more importantly to provide an updated view of the biosynthesis of these molecules in echinoidea.
Impact of the Hydrolysis and Methanolysis of Bidesmosidic Chenopodium quinoa Saponins on Their Hemolytic Activity
Saponins are specific metabolites abundantly present in plants and several marine animals. Their high cytotoxicity is associated with their membranolytic properties, i.e., their propensity to disrupt…
Biological and taxonomic perspective of triterpenoid glycosides of sea cucumbers of the family Holothuriidae (Echinodermata, Holothuroidea).

The triterpene glycosides of Holothuria forskali: usefulness and efficiency as a chemical defense mechanism against predatory fish
TLDR
The deterrent effect of saponins seems to act as an aposematic signal, warning potential predators of the unpalatability of the holothuroid tissues.
Mechanisms involved in pearlfish resistance to holothuroid toxins
TLDR
Results provide a new understanding of the carapids–holothuroids relationship and show that a great quantity of mucus can protect carapid fishes from their host’s saponins and acts as a mechanical barrier against toxins.
Antiproliferative, Cytotoxic and Hemolytic Activities of a Triterpene Glycoside from Psolus patagonicus and Its Desulfated Analog
TLDR
Although glycosides 1 and 2 exert an antiproliferative effect, their mechanisms of action do not involve inhibition of NF-κB and more extensive studies are needed to establish a mechanism of action and to deduce a clear structure-activity relationship of sea cucumber triterpene glycoside.
