| Abstract | ||
| Four triterpenoidal saponins have been isolated from the aqueous extract of Bassia muricata (L.) Murr (Chenopodiaceae). The structure of these saponins were elucidated by using some spectroscopic methods as well as acid hydrolysis followed by identification of both the aglycones and sugar moieties. The four saponins exhibited molluscicidal activities against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni in Egypt. | ||
