A triterpenoid saponin
Bacopaside X is a triterpenoid saponin that has been found in B. monniera and has antifungal and anticancer activities.1,2,3 It inhibits the growth of the fungi C. albicans, C. neoformans, and A. fumigatus (MIC = 50 μg/ml for all).2 Bacopaside X decreases the proliferation of MDA-MB-231, SHG44, HCT8, A549, and PC3M cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 14.3, 15.9, 9.8, 9.7, and 10.1 μM, respectively.3 It reduces tumor growth by 84.13% in an S180 sarcoma mouse allograft model when administered at a dose of 50 μmol/kg.
