Methyl protodioscin
Methyl protodioscin, a steroidal saponin, demonstrates potential cardioprotective effects by modulating cholesterol levels and exhibits antitumor activity. Its pro-apoptotic mechanism in vitro, studied in human A549 lung carcinoma cells, involves disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential and activating caspase-3 via cytochrome c release.
