Escin
Escin (Aescin) is a natural triterpene saponin isolated from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) seeds, biosynthesized from precursors like protoaescigenin. It is widely used in pharmacological research for its anti-inflammatory and venotonic properties, studied in both in vitro and in vivo models of edema and vascular permeability.
