“…In these molecules, the sugar moiety is mostly linked at the C-3 position of the aglycone and generally occurs as a linear rather than a branched oligosaccharide chain (Panda et al, 2006). In recent years, several studies have reported that pregnane glycosides have considerable bioactivity, including compounds with antiproliferative (Cioffi et al, 2006;Plaza et al, 2005), cytotoxic (Braca et al, 2002;De Leo et al, 2005;Chen et al, 2010;Waheeda et al, 2011;Al-Massarani et al, 2012), antifungal (Yoon et al, 2011) and antidepressant (Yang et al, 2011) activities.…”
