Soyasapogenol A shows estrogenic and hepatoprotective activities, it directly prevents apoptosis of hepatocytes, and secondly, inhibits the elevation of plasma TNF-α, which consequently resulted in the prevention of liver damage in the concanavalin A-induced hepatitis model. Soyasapogenol A is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is oleanane containing a double bond between positions 12 and 13 and substituted by hydroxy groups at the 3beta, 21beta, 22beta and 24-positions. It derives from a hydride of an oleanane.

Geniposidic acid is an effective anticancer and radioprotection agent, used to treat inflammation, jaundice and hepatic disorders. It has anti-atherosclerotic effects, can protect vascular endothelium and reverse plaque formation in an atherosclerotic model. Geniposidic acid has effects on the expression of MRP2 and BSEP in BRL-3A cells after FXR gene silencing mediated by si RNA.

Betulin (Trochol), is a sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) inhibitor with an IC50 of 14.5 μM in K562 cell line. Betulin has hypoglycemic, antineoplastic, anti-HIV, antimalarial and anti-inflammatory activities. Betulin can improve hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance and reduce atherosclerotic plaques. Betulin inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines expression and NF-κB signaling activation through STAT3 signaling, it is associated with activation of AMP kinase and inhibition of mTOR/p70S6K/pS6 signaling in these cells. Betulin is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is lupane having a double bond at position 20(29) as well as 3beta-hydroxy and 28-hydroxymethyl substituents. It has a role as an antiviral agent, a metabolite, an analgesic, an antineoplastic agent and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a diol and a pentacyclic triterpenoid. It derives from a hydride of a lupane.

Bullatine A possesses anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects, may be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as arthritis. Bullatine A produces antinociception without induction of tolerance and inhibits morphine antinociceptive tolerance, and provide pharmacological basis for concurrent bullatine A and morphine treatment for chronic pain and morphine analgesic tolerance.
