[Antimicrobial action spectrum of triterpene and steroid glycosides].
Antimicrobial activity of 9 triterpene glycosides of the plant and animal origin was studied. It was found that saponins inhibited the fungal growth to different extents and had no activity against grampositive and gramnegative bacteria. Triterpene glycosides of the animal origin, i.e. holoturins A and B, stichoposids A and C had the most pronounced antifungal activity as compared to the saponins isolated from plants. Changes in the length of the carbon chain from 2 to 6 monosugars had no significant effect on the activity of the triterpeneglycosides studied.
