Abstract
“Aescin”, the saponin mixture obtained from the seeds of Aesculus hippocastanum L. (horse chestnut), is widely used for the treatment of peripheral vascular disorders. This mixture of saponins has been reported to show antiinflammatory activity [1–3] and recently structure-requirements of escins for this activity were obtained by Matsuda et al [4] by investigating the effects of the pure saponins on acute inflammation in experimental animal models.
